King of the lake

Freediving in clean lakes in Denmark can be like swimming in a large aquarium. Here you might meet the top predator: The northern pike, Esox lucius, up to 1.5 m long.

I had just received my new tailormade freediving wetsuit from Elios and decided to try it out in a local lake, Knudsø. I came across about 6-7 pikes that day, but meeting this large tenacious individual sure made my day. It deserved it's name lucius = wolf!
