Esox lucius
No fishing rules have been added for this species yet. Check the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry notice in force before you fish; size limits and closed seasons change from year to year.
Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
Not venomous, but the mouth is lined with hundreds of backward-pointing razor teeth that cut deeply when unhooking. Never put your hand in the mouth; use pliers and gloves.
