Friday Fish: Esox lucius

The Northern Pike, a largish ambush predator with a holarctic freshwater distribution. These guys just look cool, to me, and I'm a little surprised I haven't put one up before as the Friday Fish. They eat other fish, amphibians, small reptiles, small birds, and pretty much anything else that ends up in the water and fits inside the mouth.
