Northern Pike Underwater Photos

Our Paul Vecsei has been busy shooting some beautiful new pictures of Northern Pike.  As Paul describes it, "The key (to photographing pike underwater) is what I call the polite pursuit, where an individual is chosen and followed. If the Pike wants nothing to do with me, it can lose me in a second. But some just keep a short distance and eventually allow me to approach. Once the camera with its large dome port is put close enough, I have him. They become mesmerized by their own reflection."

Northern Pike Spawning

Today we've added some amazing new Northern Pike pictures to our library of fish photography.  Viktor Vrbovsky, one of our top photographers has been busy this spring working in very cold water to photograph spawning northern pike.  In these photos, large females are accompanied by two or more smaller males in this annual spring ritual that's rarely seen because it so often occurs under the ice.  You can see all of Viktor's underwater fish photography, including his excellent new Northern Pike pictures in our Viktor Vrbovsky Gallery.
