Avid angler Peter Dubuc caught the current North American Record back in 1940 while pike fishing in New York’s Sacandaga Lake. Unfortunately there are no known pictures of this record pike, and Peter didn’t have this monster pike stuffed either. He said he did not want to pay the taxidermist $52.50 to have the 52.5 inch long fish mounted.
Canadian record pike
This is probably the biggest northern pike ever caught in Manitoba (Canada). And they ate the evidence. The estimated 70-inch fish was caught in Cedar Lake by a resident of Easterville, a small aboriginal community about 100 kilometers southeast of The Pas. The Manitoba record for northern pike is 42.42 pounds, set in 1977. The Cedar Lake catch is estimated to have weighed more than 50 pounds.
