Wicked fish mate. Looks prehistoric. Nice razor chompers. What type of fish is it? Give you much of a fight?

I think it is a pike of some sort. 2nd fish would be an English Perch or Redfin. One of the delightful introduced species into Australia. Very cool by the way

Beautiful fish. My dad has a picture of huge pike he caught as a teenager in the UK, best fish he has caught. When he came to Australia he caught bigger redfin in the Murray River than they had back in the UK where the redfin came from.
Chase some barbel Banjo, supposedly the pinnacle of UK coarse fishing. Although carp seem to have the biggest following, weird eh.
Gotta love UK fishing, you can buy maggots in different colours and sizes at the best bait shops

If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!
Especially when you can see them!

Yep they are Pike and Redfin. The pike do fight pretty well and iv been catching them on 8 lb line so its good fun in the canal with no snags around! Seriously aggressive fish when they see your lure, i have nailed every one of them that i have sight cast to. They have a massive gob and have no worries swallowing large lures. Some of them jump like Barra also and slash those teeth around! So far out of 3 half day sessions iv landed 15 Pike and 2 good Perch. Went out for a couple of hours yesterday to try and get one on a big Rapala Skitter Pop and hooked a huge perch but lost him at the bank. Have caught a lot of perch in my time but never on a surface lure! Yes Matt the Barbel look like they would pull pretty hard and they grow to a decent size but the river season is closed for about 3 months and i don't think you get many in the canals. Getting the pike nutted out now so going up to 15 lb line to chase some bigger ones at some more out of the way places.
