Species Northern Pike
Scientific Name Esox lucius
Other Names Pike, Jack
Freshwater Yes
Saltwater No
Habitat Clear vegetated lakes and rivers.  Smaller fish tend to cling close to vegetation, while larger fish are equally at home ranging over open water.
Size In most parts of the country a 20 lb pike merits bragging rights, except in remote northern areas of Canada, where 30 lb fish are possible.
Record 55 lbs 1 oz
Angling Qualities Big toothsome mouth that engulfs its prey with explosive speed. On light drag the fish will streak off line, but as drags get heavier they tend to wallow on the surface.  Given time to rest, the fish is prone to explosive outbursts, often soaking the angler upon release.
