Der König der Raubfische in Brandenburgs Gewässern. Der Hecht ist ein Lauerjäger, der blitzschnell aus dem Hinterhalt zuschlägt. Er bevorzugt verkrautete Uferzonen, Schilfkanten und Altarme. In Brandenburg kommt er in fast jedem Gewässer vor und erreicht Gewichte über 15 kg. Im Frühjahr nach der Schonzeit sind die Krautkanten die besten Stellen.
