Daily fish fact #566

Northern pike!

They tend to live 10 to 15 years, but they can live as long as 25 years old! They can grow very rapidly when conditions allow it, so they can even reach up to a maximum length of around 150 cm (59 inches)!

I found a bunch of pictures from my last job working with wild fish and I figured some of you critter-lovers would enjoy them

The angriest red-eared slider I've ever seen

mmmmmMMMMWWAAAAAAAHHH! (paddlefish)

A northern pike. These were always hard to work with because they're super slippery.

Grasp it firmly in your hand (paddlefish)

"I told you, mom, it's not just a phase!" (bighead carp)

Long, long man (longnose gar)

The biggest smallmouth buffalo we caught

The size of this lad (bighead carp)

That's a cute kitty (channel catfish I think)

Softshell turtles wake up every morning and choose violence. This one was trying to bite my finger off as I was taking its picture.

I've never seen a grouchy pancake before (softshell turtle)

Most turtles are chill. Snapping turtles are angry enough to for the rest of them

A freshwater drum. These guys make a grunting noise when they're upset

A bucked o' snoots. Pretty sure we were collecting these so fish and wildlife could tag and release them. (paddlefish)

A water snake

A juvenile gar. Just as pointy as the adults

I have apprehended the criminal

A bigger drum. This was more around the size we usually caught

A very shiny river carpsucker

A very mossy man (red-eared slider)

Anyone want to play darts? (longnose gar)

Looking very dignified (painted turtle?)

Take this, it will be important in your quest (common carp)

Pike Courtship, Northern pike (Esox lucius), Stoney Cove, Leicestershire, England

‘This photo was taken on a dive aimed at finding breeding pike in a quarry. I came across a group of six pikes, two of which moved off, leaving this group of four – three males and a female (furthest from view). During courtship, the males are oblivious of divers, so it was possible to get close to them and take a series of pictures’
