You couldn't be more wrong on both counts.

I guess I'd have tp catch a 45lbs pike before I could compare. World Record Pike was caught in Germany and was a little over 55LBS.

The fishing there, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada is certainly prolific but there's plenty of good pike fishing here locally whether through the ice or rod and reel. Fish over 20#'s aren't that uncommon.
