The headline on this week’s Angling Times (1st September, 2009), “World Record Pike” is bound to make predator anglers take notice and I bet many of them don’t even make it out of the shop before turning to page three to see the photo!
The accompanying report is of a possible world record capture and also includes photos of a few notable big pike, including the current official 55lb 1oz world record and the 46lb 13oz UK record pike.
