Northern Pike

 

Northern pike are a  popular game fish that make their homes in rivers, lakes, back waters, sloughs, and streams. In some areas they have been given a bad name because some irresposible people thought it'd be a good idea to transplant them were they do not belong. But with that said there are only a few fish that are funner to catch.

 

Northern Pike average 2-5 lbs. but can get as large as 63 lbs. (world record) and live up to 20 years. Although it seems like the average most of us catch is the all to well-known slimy little "snake". Pike can be identified by the sensory pores on the underside of their jaw. Musky have 11 to 18 pours on the underside of the jaw, are lighter colored, and have a rounder tail. Northern Pike have fewer pores, are darker and have a more pronounced V style tail.
