Looks like it was caught on four fawn budgies and half a red parrot        An Extravaganza Fly.

They grow big. I had a look on Wikipedia, 60 lb + fish have been caught.

Aye Fred , yanks have to do everything bigger than everyone else. Just look at the size of their heads.

The correct name of the fish is a Muskellunge or Muskie for short. It is indeed a member of the Pike family
the Americans know our Pike as Northern Pike.
