Default Even the big ones get eaten

My brother has just e-mailed me two remarkable photographs apparently taken at a place named Turtle Lake, North Sakatchewan in Canada of a pike angler who was spinning for the big bruisers and hooked a 36 incher. As he was playing the fish a 56 incher-55 pounder grabbed the smaller pike and the angler landed both fish-one photo shows the largest with the smaller one in its jaws. Needless to say this is a new Canadian record by some distance and what a feat-and how fortunate to get the pics to prove it. If anyone would like to see the pics pm me your e-mail and I'll pass it to you. It's quite amazing and something I doubt will ever happen again.

I was fishing for perch on Lake Windermere with my dad I was 13 at the time. My dad caught a perch that was immediately attacked by a pike. He successfully landed both fish. I've fished on Scottish lochs when my catch has been attacked by a pike but I've never landed both.

I know a guy who used a 3lb perch and caught a 32lb pike. Remember Bury Lido A.H?

OK if Mike tells me whether he got my e-mail of the photos we'll see them. Otherwise I'll have to send them again.
