loribear Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 hi guys & gals, don't know if you've seen the story, but a dead pike was found in the netherlands, anglers have been left scratching their heads as to why a pike has been found dead with a zander in it's mouth, as the zander was 2ft 5ins & the pike was only a little bit bigger at only 3ft 2ins, the pike has killed itself with this fish as the pikes teeth go backwards , so it could get rid of the zander,mr spaargaren reported his find to the dutch nature conservation news website naturebericht, which published his story, it certainly is weird as ive never come across this before myself, i know they do eat big fish & even chicks, but ive never known them be that greedy, & apparantly a similar phenomenom was reported in suffolk in october 2011, when a pike was found dead with a carp in it's mouth, here is the picture of the dead pike, eeyuk, lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandenjg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It was only a matter of time . The amount of times i've been reeling in a decent sized fish when a pike has attacked them is almost laughable. Hungry pike hunt on instinct and I guess this one just went straight in without noticing the size of the prey until it was too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Ricko Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 looks like a fishy tale to me. the work of Damien Hirst perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 looks like a fishy tale to me. the work of Damien Hirst perhaps? Now that's a deep one, Clive! Perhaps you are referring to The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot (4.3 m) tiger shark immersed in formaldehyde in a vitrine (clear display case) became the iconic work of British art in the 1990s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w44nty Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 What's W44nty got to say, Steve? I would use smaller bait!!! Joking apart I have actually seen it the other way round with a small pike trying to swallow one much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
