Zander
Stizostedion lucioperca
51.221, -0.350629
Field Notes
Description:
The biggest Zander I have ever caught weighing 9lb 11oz.
A truly amazing fish, they have skin like a shark with directional spiked scales and two dorsal fins that look as if they have come from different fish!
Their teeth are razor sharp.
Despite it's mean looks, Zander are actually very fragile fish, and if you catch one it's extremely important to minimise it's time out of water, then hold it underwater by the thinnest part of it's tail and move it backwards and forwards to push water through it's gills, and never ever release the fish until it is strong enough to swim out of your grasp, or you will find that fish belly-up within the hour.
Habitat:
Underwater!
Notes:
This fish was caught on a SINGLE (not treble!) barbless hook.
