You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

My family has lived in Great Lakes states for the last few generations, and I've always just heard them called Pike. That's the colloquial name, as well as the official one.

Every year my family goes to the State Fair, and every year we go through the Department of Natural Resources building, where they have permanent installations of huge fish tanks of freshwater fish, as well as seasonal outdoor ponds. The fish get really huge, and little kids are scared of them, especially the pike and muskellunge. When I was a kid I was scared to swim in our lake because of both.
