Default Biggest ALBERTA fish you have caught?

I saw the other post about this subject and thought it was interesting. Now whaddya got for biggest between the borders?

Mines a sturgeon from the NSR that I didn't meausure or weigh, but I'd guess 4ft long and roughly 30lbs.

Being a meat hunter/fisherman I never cared that much about how big a fish was. Sure I do try to catch big fish, more for the table right, but I haven't weighed very many of the fish I've caught over the years.
I don't even own a anglers scale.

I know I have caught a couple of Pike that should have weighed close to 18 pounds but that would be the biggest I've taken.
This is a guess since they were never weighed of measured, and it has been years since I took one that topped 10 pounds.

I know that when I caught the one, another member of our group caught and weighed a Pike that topped 20 pounds. Mine was a bit smaller so we didn't bother weighing it as it clearly wasn't the biggest of the trip.

The other was a couple of years later and I estimated that it was slightly smaller then the first one I caught in that size range.

We probably should add pics. I know there are a couple old threads with pics of my burb, pike is from 85 and have to scrounge for pic


Then the thread will get interesting with all the debates on actual size
