Spear a fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pike

This clue is a double definition.

'spear' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a fish' is the second definition.
(pike is a kind of fish)

(Other definitions for pike that I've seen before include "Fresh-water fish or old spear" , "Shafted weapon; diving position" , "Fish; weapon; hill" , "Predatory freshwater fish" , "jackknife" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
