| Hi all,
I just came across these photos on a blog. They look like a weird colored pike or musky. Any ideas?

Location: Yahara River Chain | The top one looks to be a musky due to the pointed fins, but its really too hard to tell. The bottom one is a pike. Its called a blue pike as there was an article a number of years ago in In-Fisherman. I have caught a coupe in Thaddeus Lake north of Dryden.

| Acording to the Ohio dnr website, blue pike were common in lake erie but are considered extinct now. It said they were commercially fished in the good old days and I think they said thirty inches was the max length recorded. |

| I think both of them are silver pike. We have caught a few out of Ord (connected to Thaddeus). I had no idea what it was when my dad brought the first one up. Guide said it was a silver pike, just a Northern strain that is all silver. |

They look an awful lot like the smaller pike in Wabigoon. More of a silver/green than dark green.
We actually had a little fiasco at the Chapter Challunge up there due to guys thinking the pike were small muskies.
