Default Monster Pike

I hope this works as I have a picture of the biggest pike I have caught to date. This thing is a hog it barely fit up my 8" hole. I didnt weight or measure it as it wanted to get back in the water ASAP. It came from a secret lake that lots of people fish and no it wasnt Badger.

Also if anyone has a guess on weight I would love to know.

Thanks Tinman

Nice gator! From the pic it looks like a 20#er, it would help if we had a lenth.

i would guess the lenght to be between 44" to 46" as its head was above my waist and that is about 38" from ground to waist.

Nice looking pike. I'd say right around 20 lbs, maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more. When they get to that size it doesn't really matter as they are fun to catch. Hope you catch her next year after she puts on another 5-10 lbs.
