They all look huge when they get almost to the boat.

20 odd pounds. Most people don't got the proper gear to land a pike that size

There isn't really anything for reference so it is hard to tell. Could be 50", could be 40" or anywhere in between - a good fish for sure. I would be surprised if it was less than 20 pounds though...I have caught a lot of pike from 25-35 pounds and I would say that one had a chance of being in the lower end of that range. Sweet video - thanks for posting, most of the "monster pike" video's on youtube show pike that would be lucky to go 10 pounds!

Exactly, if I was fighting a fish & someone kept touching the rod I would kick them!

Watching that vid led me to this one. Never worry that your bait/lure is too big when fishing for pike...

She probably could of landed it if that wingnut wasn't helping. Everything went wrong as soon as he started giving advice and holding the rod tip.
