	Pike
		Pike is the common name for the group of 5 species of predaceous freshwater fish with elongated snouts, sharp teeth, cylindrical bodies and forked tails, belonging to family Esocidae, order Esociformes, class Actinopterygii.
		The northern pike is distinguished by a pattern of horizontal rows of bean-shaped, yellow spots on a green to brown background, 4-6 pores on the underside of each lower jaw, and the presence of scales over the whole of the cheeks and half of the gill covers.
		Pike carry parasites known as yellow grub (in the flesh) and flspot (on the skin) which cannot infect humans and are killed when the pike are properly cooked.

		The Northern Pike (Esox lucius) is a carnivorous fish of brackish and freshwaters of the northern hemisphere.
		It is moreover a cannibal and this cannibalism serves in maintaining stability in the pike population.

		Pike is a common fish in Mongolian waters where it appears in rivers of the Selenga catchment and in lakes Terhiyn Tsagaan and Ugiy.
		Pike is considered to be a useful fish to have as it feeds mainly on fish of no commercial or angling importance, and often on sick fish and those weakened by parasites.
		Amur catfish is present in water bodies situated from the Onon River in the east to the catchments of rivers Halhin Gol, Nemregiyn Gol and Kerulen in the west.

		The biggest pike of the last decades is a giant with a weight of 30,5 kilo and a length of 146 cm that was, unfortunately, netted by Arno Wilhelm, Germany, from his private pond because it was killing young ducks.
		Pikes love to eat smaller pikes and when these small ones cannot hide in the weeds, their brothers, mothers and also grandmothers eat them by the number.
		I have caught pikes in 17 countries and have learned that the basic behaviour of Esox lucius is exactly the same in Russia as in Canada, or in Holland as in Spain.

	European Tales of Odd and Unreal Pike
		We hear about an 80-pound, 4-foot pike from Sweden that "was dragged five times up to the gunwale of the punt, but never captured." Then there is the famous Mannheim pike that hung in the Cathedral of the same name that was supposed to have lived for 267 years.
		In 1865, a 40-pound, 49-inch long pike was hauled in when it hit the head of a floating croquet mallet that was tied to a string and tossed into an estate pond by the three-year-old son of the Devon estate's owner.
		A number are well-documented and pike approaching muskie-size may be the occasional result of the combination of ideal conditions and a lack of angling pressure.

		The pikes are notoriously voracious (Terrestrial or aquatic flesh-eating mammal; terrestrial carnivores have four or five clawed digits on each limb) carnivores and can be potential pests when (additional info and facts about introduced) introduced into alien ecosystems.
		The (Pike-like freshwater perches) walleye (Sander vitreus) is sometimes called a pickerel, but it is unrelated to the pikes, being a member of the perch family (family (Active freshwater fishes; true perches and pike perches) Percidae).
		The pikes are not to be confused with the unrelated pikeminnows (formerly known as "squawfish") of genus Ptychocheilus (family (A family of fish including: carp; tench; roach; rudd; dace) Cyprinidae).

		In North America, where it exists alongside other members of the pike family it is popularly known as the northern pike.
		From study of the fossil record it is believed that pike spread eastwards from a european starting point and that this explains the increasing variety of pike species the further east you look.
		Pike probably re-colonized what is now the UK through the land-river bridge that existed immediately after the last ice age when the ice sheet extended as far south as Essex.

		It is very apparent that the pike retreat to the slow parts of the rivers, where they are left relatively in peace by taimen.
		The amur pike looks exactly like a common pike in shape, but in colouration the difference is very obvious.
		We were really quite busy catching fish on this trip - not only taimen and amur pike, but also outlandish types of trout, amur- and lenok trout, several types of arctic grayling, houting, catfish and even an amur asp.

		Basically all pikes have a back that is greenish to light brown, and fades to lighter colors of siver, grey, blue, tan, and/or gold, then the belly fades to a creamy white.
		Prey is ambushed by the pike in dense vegetation, where the pike moves into a spring-loaded "S" shaped position, then suddenly strikes, visciously catching a morsel in the mouth.
		Large pikes are fully capable of biting a victim in two and delivering a nasty bleeding bite (usually when out of the water).

		In North Eastern Asia, in the catchment of the River Amur, there is the Amur pike which has the body shape of a pike but it has dark spots on a light background.
		Additionally pike and musky hybridize producing fish known as tiger muskies because of the vivid bar markings on their flanks, and in some areas of North America (and possibly elsewhere) a colour mutant of the pike appears which is known as the silver pike owing to their lack of spots and overall silver-blue colour.
		The Amur pike doesn't appear to grow as large as the pike, apparently reaching a maximum weight of between fifteen and twenty-two pounds.

		I have a large building for winter storage of cars and boats, and the walleye and pike anglers are even more anxious lately than the Corvette owners to get their prize possessions into their driveways in anticipation of the spring season.
		Pike and muskies will be taken on larger live minnows and heavy lures that imitate the more appealing larger meals the big fish are attracted to, but many pike and muskies also are taken on smaller baits and lures while walleye fishing.
		The regular season for smallmouth and largemouth bass does not open until June 18 because of the spawning season being in effect now for those fish, but some anglers still are targeting them for catch and quick release at this time of year.

		Perhaps it’s true that Amur just don’t grow large and that ten pounds or so is their maximum weight.
		According those fishermen, many of the Amur there topped sixty pounds, seventy pounders were not uncommon and they’d even had a handful of eighty pounds or more.
		From my limited experience of Amur pike I would say that they are our own Esox Lucius in every single way apart from colouring and possibly size.
