Northern Pike as in Esox lucius?

Other than needing an olympic sized swimming pool... my guess would be more fish to eat...

People over on www.monsterfishkeepers.com (the sister site/forum of this one) may be able to offer more advice.

Pictures would be sweet!

a northern pike?! 250 gallons is definitely a good start.. but he's going to make that tank look like a 10 gallon here pretty soon. those are BIG fish.

Pike do live in shallow water in the winter, where the food is. But 15' shallow lake and 5' pond is not the same. oh yeah those teeth are super sharp, trusts me.
