We were pleasantly surprised when the friend of our hotel came with a unbelievable sample of pike (Esox Lucius L.) long 1,05m catched from Plav lake. Acording to the lenght we can draw a conclusion that the fish is at least 8 years old. Catches like this are rare on Plav lake. Since this lake is high above sea level and it's basin is shallow, it is ideal habitat of this fish. Pike has a characteristic shape with lengthened and cylindrical body, the head is long and towards top it is becoming narowed like duck's beak. It is the uttermost predator of sweet waters and it is eating all kinds of fish and amphibians.
