It was a larger size too so must have been big in its throat.

As often as you hear of this happening with pike, I think it happens at least as often with bull trout. I spend far more time fishing in pike waters than I do in bull trout country, I have yet to have a pike attack a fish on my line but have had bull trout do this 3 times to me. On all occasions it was mountain whitefish that they attacked, sometimes fairly large ones.
