I'm not sure if that's a giant pike - looks about 15 lbs to me.

I would not want that nibbling at me when I fall in.

I agree

 

And if you consider that, apparently, a 45 pound pike was caught in the Thurne system this spring - THAT would be called a giant

Ok Ok, but this one only gets to eat bits of left over black pudding and the occasional Holland's pie!

I thought the guy in the middle looked happy until I pondered the likelyhood that he may be grimacing and it could be that the fishes big brother has just found something to nibble on below the waterline...

Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, to be exact. Or what's left of it. Off the Rochdale Canal above Tib Lock. The photo showing him fishing again at the same spot shows the basin in front of the Bridgewater Hall.

... have to be quick, think she is making a sharp exit ... (perhaps she heard them 'wailing' in the Bridgewater Hall adjacent, or someone told her about all the sharks who work in the lawyers offices nearby?)
