Pike record disqualified over suspected sale by Notzli
The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward disqualified a 62 pound 8 ounce northern pike alleged to be caught by Jurg Notzli of Zurich Switzerland after evidence suggested the fish was netted by Swiss commercial fishermen and sold to Notzli. Investigations from May to August found partial links to Notzli who had previously claimed to catch such fish in other waters using Rapala lures. The former 46 pound 2 ounce 1940 Sacandaga catch by Peter Dubuc is restored as the record.
