I spent a few years in Holland and Belgium and it was amazing to walk by the 1000's of canals there and look in and see 40-50" pike. I think they call them zander over there. Not sure, but they are everywhere. A big pond froze over and I was walking on it with some people and there was a frozen dead pike that probably measured 45". Half of its body was out of the water. I dont remember taking pictures of that, but being a fisherman that was awesome. So they do get big over there, but I think they are a different species of pike. ot sure again.
