Yes the pike are truly enormous. As you look out from the decking, to the left, there is what we called the Spanish Galleon. The reason being that that there were loads of spurious gold coins on board. When we were teaching students, that was was one of their aims, to collect a doubloon. Anyway, back to the fish. It is very shallow in that area and they massed around there. When the students saw the size of the fish all thoughts of a faux coin went out of the window. Hell they were good days. Jok.
