World record Pike?

We all get emails that have been forwarded all over the place, usually they are one of several types

1. isn't life wonderful group hug stuff
2. OMG check out this hoax
3. full of photoshopped stuff
4. quotable quotes attributed to the wrong person

I got this one yesterday. If it's real this is the mother of all northern pike.

This is NOT a fish story !

This is a new record Northern Pike in Canada . He caught it on Rainy Lake. Check this thing out.. The man (in the photos below), was fishing and caught a 36" Pike. As he was reeling it in, a 56" - 55 lb Pike tried to eat it !!!!! He landed them both in the same net. The last picture is unreal.
