w44nty Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 A 42lb 8oz pike was caught at Hickling on Friday, it was caught from one of Whispering Reeds Houseboats.

Antares_9 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 From the days when folk ate the buggers by the looks of it Clive, none of this hippy catch and release nonsense, never seen the reason to catch or kill anything you aren't going to eat, unless it's eating your stuff that is.

w44nty Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Clive Fantastic pictures of your grandad with the Pike,I bet you feel proud of him catching fish like that. Keep them coming we all love to see them,super Perch amongst them ,how big was that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 , I dont know much about the pike in the pictures apart from the first one was hooked by someone else and Grandad reeled it in and landed it, there was a bit in the paper what was a bit mixed up because they both wanted the glory!! he also caught a couple of big pike which were stuffed by Gunn of Norwich, he lent them to the maritime museum in Lowestoft but after surviving the fire they went missing we had loads of his fishing gear but it gradually went missing and all his rods (some real nice ones) got knicked.

mbird Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Gents, Just to set the record straight, the photo of the recent pike catch was "modded". I know some people are maybe going to consider this out of order, but the original poster has received an explaination as to the reason. To clarify, the photograph posted on the NBF is copyrighted to whom ever took the photo (this is basic UK law). It is the policy of this forum to try to abide by copyright laws to avoid us getting into trouble. Whilst the possibility of this over a photo of a fish is small, it is none the less real. I myself have taken and posted many photos on NBN, and I know I would not be terribly happy with any of them apprearing on other Forae without my permission. Should anyone know who took the photo, and get written permission from them to post it here, we are more than happy for it to be re-posted, so if anyone does know the photographer, a quick PM might be good? Please also be reminded that we do not condone posting links to other Forae, and neither do the other Forae in question. As daft as it may sound, this has caused a few spats in the past and is therefore not permitted. I'm sure everyone will understand and abide by these simple guidelines, which are purely intended to keep the peace (and within the law!). We do not go in for heavy modding, but do, on occassions such as this, have to be seen to be doing the right thing for all members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Out of interest, has any one ever noticed a pike in any pub/ restaurant with Gunn/ Richardson on the case, ? Just hope there could be a slim chance of it still being about..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Clive, try asking Derrick Amies at Gorleston Tackle. Knows more about Broads pike than anyone alive today. He has a acquired a few stuffed fish over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks Peter, there were 2 pike caught in Oulton Broad (not the ones in the pictures) they were lent to the museum via Bill Solomon the old harbour master. when the museum caught fire his widow was given back all the stuff he lent but we were not sure if the pike survived the fire of if they are in an attic somewhere...

JennyMorgan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Clive, Bill's son is still alive, not sure how but I suspect I can track him down if that will help. I do know the folk at the museum, can also ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Peter, If you fancied a challenge then I would appreciate it.. I suspect they were burnt but it would be good to get closure on the matter, BUT... you never know and it would be fantastic to know where they were..

Fish Finder Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 lovely to see the photos of that 44 pounder and great to hear that the big boys and girls are still in evidence, we had a low 30 pounder come out at Womack about 15 months ago caught on a plug during the winter months but only jacks and jennys upto around 6 pound have been caught recently AFAIK at Womack unless anyone knows any diffently. i think the salt water surges drive them further upstream as they hate salty water.

JennyMorgan Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Most Broads pikers sensibly keep quite about their successes. I was once witnessed catching a 34 pounder, next day I counted more than fifty rods within 200 yards of where I caught her. Re salty water, the Baltic is home to a quite a few pike, surprisingly, at least to me. Still, I like the idea of Denmark: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Here was me thinking PIKE was a young bloke in Dads Army....duh! Don't tell them your name PIKE! JM....that's a BIG fish! Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
