Those pics have been around for years. From what I remember, the pics are legitimate, but the fish are not the same fish.

The first picture was taken by one of the guys that frequents some of the Boundary Waters forums. I can't remember exactly which lake he caught it in and the fish wasn't all that big. It's not unusual to have pike grab other fish. I caught a 4 lb smallie while trolling and had a pike in the 40 inch range (about 20 lbs) grab the smallie and head for the hills. Got him almost to the canoe and he let go. The smallie was so marked up he went for dinner.
From what I can remember the other pictures were of a fish caught in Denmark or Holland. Huge fish anyway but pike get alot bigger over there for some reason.
