Not a sea fish, but a fish nonetheless

I know this is a sea angling forum,but due to all the blanks and tiddlers, thought I'd share what I think is closer to 'real' fish, having blanked so much myself lately at sea.

Looks familiar - did that pic feature on the IFI website/fb page?

Not a whole lot of scrap from her admittedly.
I'd posted it on my FB page,not IFI

It's been shared around, I remember admiring it recently. Nice catch.

Big cranky head up on ya

Fine catch

Fine fish lad , a very serious head on ya I'd say u were well chuffed

Nice big lady! Looks in good condition, she must have spawned some time ago. Been after one myself for the past while, can't seem to get past the wee Jacks. Was it from the boat or shore?

A fine lure caught fish. Well done.

Fine pike. They can be a bit sluggish in cold weather. If you caught her on a warm day she would give you a good run for your money!

Fair play on a fine fish,i bought 3 of them eels during the week,i heard alot of talk about them,i wont be using them till the summer as ill be fly fishing till than.Congrats on the fish.
