Talking about Pike

[john-d]

I dont think they made the film in the end? but I have the paperback book.

You can believe about the the man eating eels, two of my mates have fished extensively in New Zealand and Australia and have made several DVD's on the subject.

In one, Barry tells the true story of the non fatal car crash in which one unlucky local man who is rescued after some time in his partly submerged car wreck, only to find the eels have feasted on parts of his legs!!

Don't take my word for this, log on to the National Anguilla Club website and look in at Barry's attached website called Zandervan productions and buy one of his DVD's you will be amazed what they catch.

She can hold my eel anytime lol

And, for whatever reason, her eel looks like it is smiling!

I think you,ll find those massive eels are are in fact the Australian cousins of our own eels, which do grow to the sizes pictured AND bigger but the species IS different. Still, they wouldn't half tug your string.

I think Andy is right the Ausie ones are the short fin and long fin eel he says unsure face ,but i thought that the real monsters came from New Zealand Steve

Wasn't there a book about a giant pike in Lake Windermere??? late 1970s or early 1980s

I read a book about a HUGE PIKE in the lake district

It was called PIKE ( funnily enough ) i think it was James Herbert that wrote it he also wrote the "rats" trilogy

If i remember it was an ok book.

The book was written by Cliff Twemlow.
