world record pike

what is the true size of the world record pike?an where is it from?wheredo you think the next one will come from?

claims are documented but as to how true they are?????
next record pike i think will be in east europe??

the following is copy-pasted from a website showing the current world records for all species of fish........
Northern Pike 55lbs 1oz Lothar Louis Lake of Grefeern, Germany October 16, 1986
not sure as to whether the site is actually up to date but its the best one i found that was on rod and line.

cheers rob,somewhere ive seen one over 60lb,looked every bit size.but like all fish captures they will be doubters
