...but as mentioned above pics can be misleading, plus it could be that topps was using an 100 inch spoon net...

 

That make is only 24 inch...

My PB was caught over a decade ago at 24lb 8oz (god i look young in the picture)

Despite numerous 20's since i've still not broken it (not going to stop me trying though)

My personal best is 21.5 lb from Kingsmead on a paternostered sprat. It was taken from a swim right next to the car park along with two smaller doubles. It was particularly satisfying because all the self-proclaimed experts were struggling at the time. Bizarrely, I caught the same fish the next day in the very same spot with the same tactics.

 

Since then, I may have beaten it with a very nice fish caught on a small spinner on the Itchen while it was in flood, but since I don't weigh fish anymore, I can't say for sure.

My one and only pike was caught whilst fishing for roach. It grab a hold of a small roach as I was reeling in and the size 18 hook I was using got caught in the scissors. It was only just over 5lb but I was well chuffed.

17lb 4oz from the tidal Thames late this summer.

 

Caught it on a live 3 inch dace whilst fishing for perch, using a size 10 single and a small cork bobbin float!

A pike shouldn't be snapping your mate's line.

 

Have a look here for some tips on the right kind of tackle to use for piking.
