*Many UK pike anglers refuse to accept the Lewis
pike as the British record, prefering to believe Morgan's fish
to be the true holder of that title.
**Numerous pike larger than these officially recognised
Irish records have been well documented as having been fairly
caught by anglers. Larger fish still have been netted, shot or
found dead!
