I saw this video and thought it might be interesting for some here.

Mick Brown is one of the most respected predator angler in the UK. To date he has 315 pike over twenty pounds, including 23 over thirty pounds.

I guess what this shows is the size of fish a hungry pike will take. Even a magnum bull dawg isn't half as big as this eel!

I found another video of an eel hanging out of a pike's mouth.

It's at about 8:20

So it seems pike will hit big eels if they can.

I wonder what the largest rubber lure is? A 14" Hogy, anything bigger out there?
 
As a kid on Marean lake in Saskatchewan, I was fishing from my grandpa's dock and saw a mother duck with her brood panicking towards shore.....

Big pike shot through the shallows and took 2 ducklings, the last in line and the first one behind her. Was very cool although I felt bad for her.
We cleaned a 20lb plus pike once with a 5 lb walleye in its gut!
 
I once caught a pike 44 inches long and found two muskrats in its belly when we got it goths taxidermist. One full grown and one smaller young muskrat.
 
I caught a small 3 pound pike and as I got it close to the boat a big 36 inch long pike grabbed the small hooked pike by the middle. I netted the large pike before he let go of the smaller one. The small pike was too badly damaged to let go, and saved the undamaged meat from it too.
 
A buddy of mine was an apprentice taxidermist and he said that they found all kinds of things in pike. Flat skipped stones, flashy beer caps tossed over board etc.
