niall_b73 41 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) By Gofishing.co.uk Coarse 29 March 2011 00:00 Fifty years in search of a monster pike and when you finally set the hook in your 'dream' the giant slips the treble. Enought to break a man? Not Angling Times' columnist Terry Knight, who went back the following day and hit the jackpot with a 43lb 13oz specimen pike! Angling Times were there every step of the way to capture the agony and ecstacy of the adventure on film... Terry was tackling Wykeham Lakes, near Scarborough, a venue that several weeks ago produced a 45lb 14oz pike to local big-fish expert Wyndon Coole. At a mere 15oz short of breaking the British record, this pike was just one meal, or a belly full of spawn away from smashing the record weight for the species. The whole incredible story, from start to finish, was captured on film, available to watch by clicking on the link below, scroll down to the video and clicking on it. http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Angling-Times/Section/Videos/All-Coarse-Videos/Videos-Search-Results/Predator/Terry-Knight-catches-massive-43lb-13oz-pike-from-Wykeham-Trout-Lakes/ niall_b73 Edited March 29, 2011 by niall_b73 Quote Link to post
