New World Record Pike?

[Leon Roskilly]

Stanley said he was just going to cut the fish up to eat, but his friend suggested he check the record books.

I must move to Montana, some of the news articles on that site are a scream.

In Montana, traffic cops will pull you over because they're lonely.

A traffic cop stopped me on the A82 Loch Lomond road just so he could check out my bike Andy.

Yeah like his mate said he better check the record books.i guess he should have said check the Angling Times. A good fish no doubt but no world record surely

It is really only the potential record for the 8Ib line class they are talking about and nothing to do witH an overall record.

 

Although I'm certain many UK matchmen have landed similar sized pike on much lighter lines. Anyone remember the AN Lower Itchen Grayling fish-in some years back where my wife hooked, and I landed, a pike topping 17Ib on Drennan 3.6Ib Floatfish line and a no 16 hook.

You've called your bike Andy? Sometimes I really worry about you

I think it's a very nice name. Funnily enough, I get stopped by the Police a fair amount too. Unfortunately, that's for very different reasons. I don't fill up with petrol either.
