Northern Pike are found in freshwater throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Because of their body shape, their appearance is distinct from other freshwater fish, though the muskie sometimes gets mistaken for this species. The pike has a long, slender body that is olive green in color and fades to yellowish-white on its belly. The sides of the fish are marked with lighter colored spots that usually match the belly color. One dorsal fin is located near the end of the back and this fin, along with the others, is marbled with spots. The pike has a long, flattened snout and a mouth full of sharp teeth. The major difference in appearance of male and female pike is size. The female fish are naturally larger than the male. Both genders grow continually with age. The average weight of a northern pike is between 3-7 pounds and 24-30 inches long. The largest pike ever caught was 58 inches long and weighed 68 pounds.
