Anybody know anything about a 39 lb.
pike caught at Newell in the last week ?

capper · #2 03-01-2018, 08:06 AM

Here is the photo of the fish in question, this is
From a Facebook group called fishing buddies.

I had heard it was just under 38, and the pics i saw was a different guy holding it. I bet Mr. Christie knows what's up.

Troll post was not actually 39lbs.

pinelakeperch · #5 03-01-2018, 09:05 AM

Big fish. Doesn't look to be 39lbs, in my opinion.

Joe Quiroga · #6 03-01-2018, 09:24 AM

Will be on the buffet today down at Brooks Buffet!

Friend sent me a link to Camping in Style on Twitter, says just shy of 38 lbs and only 3oz from a new Alberta Record? FWIW.

Gorgeous fish but no where near 39lbs. I would put it at the 29-31 lb range. Great fish!!

58thecat · #9 03-02-2018, 07:02 AM

That is a dandy pike! Whether it's 31 or 39 lbs it's a beauty!

Red Neck · #10 03-02-2018, 12:28 PM

No matter of numbers? Thats a great fish!!
Thanks for sharing.

lol no matter what, every time someone posts a pic or info of a big fish ,the experts come out of their holes to proclaim that it just can't be true. My faves are the posts like , no way that fish is xxlbs it's can't be more than xx lbs. I think if it was shown on the scales they would swear the scale was faulty or rigged

Yup, sad isn't it? Probably worked at the carnival guessing people's weight. That'll make them an expert when all you've got is one small picture with no true reference as to scale.

skidderman · #16 03-03-2018, 07:50 PM

I'm not sure how much it is but I know that no one can predict size by looking at a picture. It may or may not be. If it is great, if not, who cares.

Dweb · #17 03-03-2018, 07:53 PM

I can hardly tell weight when I have the darn thing in my hands lol

RavYak · #18 03-03-2018, 08:48 PM

For the record the picture in this thread was posted by a guy mocking the 38 lb claim.

It was a nice pike but not 38 lbs. A ~40 lb pike has to be almost 50 inches and fat.

capper · #19 03-04-2018, 11:16 AM

I posted the photo and wasn’t trying to mock anything! The
Photo was on f.b and had the claim of 38lbs. Just thought I would
Share it to add to the o.p thread. Sorry o.p I was not trying to be a “troll” or mock anything.

capper · #20 03-04-2018, 11:26 AM

And “for the record” Ravyak, i think you have a lot of great posts and knowledge and contribute to this forum In many ways but I hope you have have an eraser or some whiteout b/c your records are wrong.

I wasn't calling you out lol...

You should have read all the comments on the facebook post you took that picture from, then you would have understood that a) that pike isn't 39 lbs(which should be obvious just looking at the picture) and b) that he posted it to mock a supposedly 38 lb fish(which also wasn't 38 lbs).

Maybe this will help clear things up...

enfield303 · #22 03-04-2018, 12:16 PM

Where is the Pike's shadow?

I dont see that fish being far off 50 inchs at all, second,,,you are just another of the people that think it makes you a better fisherman by calling out another. Who cares if its 37 pounds. If its a record then we will all know soon enough. It’s held forward which always makes them look bigger but look at the width of the 3 finger hand in the pick and then look at your own, then scale it to the head length or the width of that tail. Like i said not far off 50”. Maybe dig real deep,,,,I mean real deep and just say nice fish and not do your best to take away from it

I never called the guy out...

THE GUY THAT POSTED THE FISH CALLED HIMSELF OUT...

That was the joke Pal.. It was in regards to that post about the almost record.. it's clearly not 39 lbs

Read the facebook comment in my picture...

It is clearly a nice fish, just not a new record...

RavYak · #28 03-04-2018, 01:15 PM

It could have been caught anywhere. As mentioned the guy posted his picture to make fun of another angler that had posted a smaller pike and was claiming it was 38 lbs.

I don't think the 38 lb post is up anymore.
