Anyone for a McPike sandwich

I don't think this should be counted as a catch. I think the fish committed suicide.

This bad boy was caught on Rainy lake!! This is the new record in Canada. Check this thing out.. The last picture is unbelievable! This guy (in the photos below), was fishing and caught a 36" Pike. As he was reeling it in, a 56" Pike tried to eat it! He brought them both in on the same net. Awesome catch on a river in Canada - 55lbs - 56 inches.

Yeah but he can't really count it. Everyone knows tht you have to catch the fish on hook and line before it becomes a record. That's why my 6 1/2 lb'er still trumps! Where did you find these pics?

My brother e-mailed the story. I just did a google search; but didn't find much. Here's one of the items I found:

I was surfing cable the other day and saw a show on National Geographic channel about river catfish. Some villagers on the Mekong River caught what is believed to be the largest freshwater fish ever brought in---I can't remember now whether they said it was in the 600 or the 800 lb range; but whatever, it was one huge catfish.
