The ‘Piking Pirate’ Gord Burton won a weekly Drennan award in last week’s Angling Times with this tremendous 34lb 14oz Pike.

Gordy rates this fish as the highlight of his angling career, having put a lot of effort into targeting a vast Scottish Loch for the resident Pike over a period spanning four decades!

Successful strategy was to cast a float-paternosted Perch deadbait into 25ft of water using 15lb mainline and size 4 treble hooks on Drennan wire.

“I’ve been waiting my whole life to catch a pike like this from a wild, natural water” Gordy told Angling Times.

 Well done Gordy!
