Fishing - it is extremely entertaining.They are addicted not only men but also many of the fair sex.For most of them today it is a real passion for a hobby to which they are committed and holidays, and weekends, and days off and holidays.
avid fisherman used professional equipment, read special literature, make long trips to the lake and the stakes, to hold an extremely long time.Any such fan is required to have a personal record, was captured in the photo with the caption: "My biggest pike", "The good catch" or "the luckiest fisherman."This trophy happy and proud to show visitors.
Given the propensity of fishermen of all ages, to some, to put it mildly, exaggerated, it can be concluded that not all the stories about the huge pike caught in the history of mankind can be trusted.For example, the legend goes, the biggest pike was caught using a conventional nets in 1497, and its age was 270 years.
determine how old was the pike, it helped ring, put it on the fish on the orders of King Frederick II supposedly in 1230.Probably, the pike was caught in those days, and then it just ringed and then released into the wild.
said that this is the biggest pike was 5 meters 70 centimeters, while her weight reached 140 kg!This same story adds that its scales did not have a natural pigment - it was pure white.There is also a legend that the skeleton of the fish caught has been transferred to one of the museums in the German city of Mannheim.
And now other sources this skeleton repeatedly subjected to analysis, and the results showed that it is - the usual fake.This is not the biggest pike, because the layout of the spine collected five different pike.
But modern zoology research said that the biggest Pike in the world today lives in North America, in Canada.It is called the muskie.This type is very similar to ordinary pike.
Compared to his other relatives pike muskie are much hardier species, have large size and longer life.Painting this type of scales pike are also similar to the color of ordinary pike.They come in silver or brown, gray or green with bands of dark color, breaks down into spots.
In 1660 was recorded an episode of catching such instance Pierre Radisson, French explorer.Reported catches have the size of two meters and a weight of seventy-five kilograms.Although material evidence as photos or skeleton to the present day has not been preserved, these data can be regarded as true, as some instances of these American predators weigh 50 kilograms.
muskie - the biggest pike.Photo made with modern fishermen definitely prove it.Suppose that in this instance is not even 2 meters, but after all, not the episode is brought in the Guinness book.For fishes of this kind of length 180 centimeters is the most common.
Small schuryat-muskie are already starting to eat live food, as befits a predator in the first year of its existence, with a body length of only five centimeters.This makes them extremely fast growing.During his lifetime - and it is about thirty years old - they are gaining weight in the average of 32 kilograms.
