PRESS RELEASE FROM THE PIKE ANGLERS CLUB
Hold your horses, no-one’s beaten the record… But when Roy Lewis, whose 46lbs 13oz Llandegfedd brute has held the record for 14 years got in touch from New Zealand, we realised you can’t see a picture of Britain’s record pike anywhere online.
Roy caught the fish from the South Wales reservoir on a Creek Chub Pikie lure, in October 1992.
The picture was taken by Angling Times, which has kindly allowed to PAC to display it in the records section of its website.
The question of whether it will ever be beaten – either at Llandegfedd or elsewhere – remains one of those topics which crop up wherever pikers gather and the beer’s flowing.
The PAC has arranged 10 boats on ‘Deggy on Saturday, so who knows.
In the meantime, the picture of this historic fish has now been added to the PAC website, which is the only place it can be seen online. Check it out at http://www.pacgb.co.uk/aboutpike/records.html
