Only bite is a monster pike!

This immense pike left seasoned specimen angler Keith Wesley stunned. Weighing in at 38lb, the fish came during a trip with Angling Times columnist Martin Bowler to an unnamed chalk pit.

It was Keith’s only fish of a two-day session, and it took a further day for the catch to sink in.

“I was blown away by the fish – it was so fat!” he told us.

“In the water, Martin and I both agreed it looked to be around 25lb, but its depth was tremendous.

“To catch such a fish is always special, but to do it with my old mate Martin by my side was really the icing on the cake.”
