sounds like a Koy Fish

Definitely Koi Fish or large species goldfish. Fish stores sell koi sometimes very small and people do not realize that they can grow to such large sizes so they dump them into ponds and lakes once they out grow their tanks. They are cold-water fish thus being able to live through winters. I see them quite frequently in some of the ponds I go to. Some well over 20+inches.

But nice pike bunker! I actually work right near that spot . Don't worry I won't spot burn you lol. I pretty much leave that area once I'm out. Congrats on the Pike!
