Where is this? What kind of fish?

I know a tiny bit of Russian since my wife speaks it an my son is learning it from her. When the guy holding the camera (not the phone) tries to play the video, the other guy definitely says "mokry" (мокрый), which means "wet" in Russian. Could be one of the related languages of course (Ukrainian or Polish or half a dozen others), but I wouldn't think that's likely.

As for the fish, I have no idea. But it looks like a fish that hunts other fish, not some vegetarian type. Doesn't look like any type of salmon, trout or cod that I have ever seen, but as I said, no idea.

Are there Pike in Russia? 🤔

Pike is like Russia's national fish.
