Pike

“Pikes are a freshwater predator known for its elongated body, sharp teeth, and aggressive hunting behavior. It's a voracious carnivore that preys on smaller fish, frogs, and even small mammals near the water's edge. Pikes have a unique ability to ambush their prey by remaining almost motionless in the water, then striking with incredible speed to catch their meal. – Bestiary Entry”— in-game Bestiary description

Pike guide

Pike is a starter-zone predator you can catch right in Moosewood. It is Unusual, takes Insect bait, can be caught at any time of day, and needs Rain in Autumn or Spring. The game's bestiary describes it as a freshwater ambusher that stays almost motionless before striking.

A typical Pike weighs 2.5 kg (1.5 to 3.1 kg) and sells at C$65.7 per kg, an average of C$154.4. That puts it 529th of 742 documented fish by value, and its maximum weight is 575th of 663. Base XP is 90.
