Pike is the ‘king’ of freshwater fish. It is a great spectacular predatory fish that knows no mercy. The pike has several family members including the famous barracuda. The pike occurs in all the freshwater waters of European waters and also lives in North American waters to a depth of 5m. The pike can achieve a length of 150 cm with a weight of 30 kg. Her flat head and also her big mouth are characteristic, also known as 'Undensnavel'. Not for nothing, the Fransozen call her Bec de Canard, because the lower jaw is longer than the upper jaw. The pike has a elongated body and has striking yellow-colored dots on her flank. The color of the skin varies from gray-brown to green-gray with sometimes a red glow on her side.
