THE BOOK OF THE PIKE 



"The pike family are most remarkable for the large size of the head which 

 is flattened and the lower jaw which projects. They have a terrible array of 

 sharp teeth of assorted sizes, and on the edge of each side of the lower jaw are 

 several long, bayonet-shaped fangs — in the larger fish nearly an inch long, 

 some of them curved inward like the tusks of a bear." 



—Mr. Louis Rhead, in "The Book of Fish and Fishing."
