Ya would wallop a small child at least...5 year old out swimming....Hmmm could happen. They eat water fowl and muskrats minks things of that nature...Smile child with water wings spalshing in a shallow area.....hmmm Now where is that sweet446? lol just joking!
DFULLER - I would take it one step further and not compare fish from different locations of North America but compare trophy fish in your "region" or state. I fish NY and Massachusetts and there is a BIG difference between what is called a trophy fish between these two states which are next to each other. I have caught walleye in NY which would be a Massachusetts state record. It's unfair to compare a largemouth bass in the north which only get 6 months of "warm" water to a bucketmouth in Okeechobee (Fl.) Which means when we do catch what is considered a trophy fish for that species in a specific geographic location it should be cherished.
I remember that article.Matt - your 100% right. To a lesser extent the same goes for big game too.
I'm no pike expert, not by a long shot...but at 38 1/2 inches, I wouldn't believe that fish weighed 20 lbs...just doesn't seem probable.-Zach
