The walleyed pike, also known as the yellow pike, is a freshwater fish that can be found in North America. The species is known for its distinctive, glassy-looking eyes and is a popular game fish among anglers. Other synonyms for the walleyed pike include the walleye, dory, jackfish, and pickerel. The name "pickerel" can be a bit confusing, as it is also used to refer to other species of fish. However, in certain regions, such as the northeastern United States, "pickerel" is often used interchangeably with "walleye" to refer specifically to the walleyed pike.
