100% northern pike... esox lucius

 

[SemperFi]

Musky!!!!!

 

[Raider16]

Definitely a pike, I’ve caught lots of smaller pike with the spots with that type of vertical pattern.

It's a Northern Pike, absolutely beyond doubt....just believe an old fisheries guy.

My question, is their a size limit on Lake Erie for Pike? And is their a bag limit on them as well? I would have kept it if I knew the answers to those questions. Pike are great tasting fish

Esox Lucius.

I think it might be a yellow perch. I don't remember what they look like because I haven't caught one in so long.

I was with ditchdigger when he caught it. I thought it was a pike at first but don’t pike have horizontal markings. These are vertical. I think it’s a tiger muskie

pike for sure. Caught thousands of them in Canada. Have caught about 20 in lake erie

Pike have small white spots all over I don’t see how guys can confuse them if color on fish is even okay very way to tell.

Juvenile northern pike, got a whole lake full of em about 25 miles from home here.

 

[jwfish]

You got a pike if it was a tiger musky it would have bares up and down plus the spots of pike and the ones I have caught on ST Clair have a blue tint to them

 

[LEfriend]

pike have dark background with white markings, musky have light backgrounds with dark markings.

agreed With that but sure has the the vertical lines of a musky as well. Seems to have a little characteristics of both?
