Todays AT - 45lb 8oz Pike

Front page - what a capture - A 45lb 8oz beauty from the Norfolk Broads.

Being hailed as the most important capture of a fish since chris yates' record redmire carp.

I love the fact it came from a river rather than a large trout water like chew

That bloke must be over the moon.

have you anymore details about this pike? as it is the first i have heard about it.

if it realy is a 45-8 fish then that is fantastic,and i agree about it not coming from a trout water.in my view a true record fish.

just hope the venue where it was caught from does not get invaded by the circus.

ps had a river pike of seventeen and a half at the weekend,one of the hardest fighting pike i have ever caught,that fish made my season.

All the details are there in the AT mate - don't really want to advertise where it came from on here, but if you get a copy of it there's quite a bit of detail about exactly where it was caught and what methods were used etc

oh dear, i feel sorry for the norfolk broads pike, interview in angling times states that the big pike could be a british record in a weeks time ,got a funny feeling there about to be hammered by every numpty for miles ,without a clue on pike fishing ,ie, loads of pike swimming around with traces, or dead,

Cue Nige Williams....

funny one that andy so andy you seen what they said on p@p site?loads of praise an loads of slagging.alot said he should av kept stum till season nds,maybe right but then every one wants five mins of fame

Yes I'm mostly aware of what goes on in P&P, although you'd have to spend all day in there to keep up.
Call me a cynic but I don't think 'end of season' is going to keep the circus away from trying to catch it again. There are those who dare at any cost.

....Andy....

heard nige is on his way with a bucket of livies, you are right andy,right on cue

wow.... what a fish!!! i'll see if i can get hold of a copy of at thursday when i get paid
as for all this talk about the circus heading down there i quite agree...... it wouldnt have mattered when it was publicised the end result will probably be the same, every numpty and his dog going down there to try and catch it .
thats why if i catch a fish worth publicising all they get from me is "undisclosed venue", and i always make sure the photos dont give too much away in the background.

Here's a pic of the cover for anyone thats not seen it. Click to enlarge

good photo ...... and even better is the fact that theres nothing but grass in the background well done that man

Inside the AT there are other pics which give a bit more away, but still that is a great front cover pic.

thats a cracker of a pike. what do you think of its survival rate now. there are some fishermen who would bang it over the head, so thay can show their mates...

every pike anglers dream wot a creature but i now feel sorry for the broads pike population the angling pressure on that stretch of water will be imense........

Makes my 13lber a tiddler by comparison.

I feel for the old girl. Every numpty who thinks that they are a pike angler will be after her now. Hope she eludes them and never gets caught again until the whole thing dies down.

Let her live in peace.

well said lefty
