That Pike looks more like a shark.It's "Gädda" [1] in Swedish (Esox Lucius).
''The Pike (Esox lucius) eats all kinds of fish, including members of its own species. It also eats snakes, frogs, and birds.''Doesn't sound very friendly to me (but maybe that's because I'm a Python developer?)
(footnote: a quick look in Websters confirms that we're talking about the same fish. on the other hand, it says that a Walleye is a Stizostedion Vitreum -- not even a family member, in other words ;-)
