| 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. | |

Moderator Pleasant Gap, PAPosts: 1185 | I hope I never see a fish that big, especially with sharp teeth - I'd probably never go near the water again. Awesome catch. Does this type of catch count in the record books? I guess the 3-foot pike could be construed as 'bait'? -Shawn | |

| Calgary,Canada Posts: 2 | I'm originally from Winnipeg and can atest to the pike fishing in Manitoba, but that is a freeking alligator. Probably pretty hard to cast a 36" weighted streamer. 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. | |

Administrator Fairbanks, AKPosts: 2133 | What a beast! I've seen that top picture all over the Internet, but hadn't seen the other two. I know there are some pike pushing that size here in interior Alaska, too, though not in the vicinity of Fairbanks or anywhere else on the road system for that matter. | |
