Description
Chain Pickerel (Esox niger) is a species of freshwater fish in the pike family (Esocidae). Chain pickerel are usually yellowish-brown, with a distinctive pattern of interlocking dark bands on the sides that resembles a chain-link fence. The species prefers to stay in cover and is most often found in patches of aquatic vegetation, as they usually strike when unsuspecting prey swim their way. Chain Pickerel can grow up to 60 cm (24 in) in length and weigh around 2 kg (4 lbs). It feeds almost exclusively on other fish.
