Posts: 3	Don't swim in the Winnipeg River, apparently there are monsters in the water. This is the new record in Canada.Caught on the Winnipeg River, in Manitoba. Check this thing out.. This guy , was fishing and caught a 36" Pike - as he was reeling it in, a 56" Pike tried to eat it!!!!! He brought them both in on the same net. Awesome catch - 55lbs-56 inches.

You would think that a 36" pike would be pretty safe in that area, but makes me wonder what else is in those waterways. There's alot of lakes there.
