How much does this pike weigh?
Am guessing the fish is between 21" and 24" long, the documented length of a mature osprey.

2 1/2 -3 give or take a bit and body of water.

The pike in the ospreys clutches is maybe a 2 lb. at most. A mature osprey can weigh up to 4.5 lbs. so I would think it could handle a 2 lb. fish.

The more oxygen in a lake, the longer the fish, so fish length comparative to weight can vary from lake to lake. I have caught 36" pike that weighed less than 4 lbs.

Yeah I see them carrying surprisingly large fish all the time here at Kalamalka Lake in BC. The coolest though was the osprey had about a 2 pound fish and a large bald eagle was after him. The eagle was more than twice the size and was dive bombing the osprey. The osprey finally dropped the fish and the eagle swooped down after it. The fish must have still been alive cause the eagle never caught the fish.
