A powerful pike made the rod dance. A new record was broken
A new record was broken – the angler caught a large pike. It was much longer than an adult’s leg.
Timothy Hicks – an avid fisherman with Post Falls – set a new record. In mid-June this year he went to the lake Pend Oreille, where a giant was waiting for him Esox lucius.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game officially confirmed that it was the largest specimen of the family Esocidae (pikes) as of 2020.
The huge fish grabbed the hook. The enthusiast went down in the history of fishing, this is how long the pike measured
Details were reported by the Idaho Statesman. A foreign media contacted Hicks, who revealed the size of E. lucius.
It was 126.4 centimeters long. That’s more than the common pike he caught six years ago Scott Blahnik from Idaho – a fish he pulled out of the lake Coeur d’Alene, was 124.5 centimeters.
