Esox lucius
One of our most voracious predators, pike often consume prey half their own length including minnows, frogs, crayfish, mice, muskrats, ducklings, and even their own kind. Arctic pike may live for up to 25 years. Primarily a freshwater fish, it occurs in most of Canada with the exception of the Maritime Provinces. The angler record for North America is 21 kg in weight and 133.3 cm in length. Unlike the muskellunge, hooked pike fight in the depths rather than leaping from the water. As a sport fish, it is usually taken by trolling with large spoons, plugs, large bait fish, or worm harness.
