Caught this beautiful pike last week and have never seen markings like these. Anyone else see anything like this?

Interesting this is from Cook co IL. Thought it might be some kind of odd hybrid

The Iowa DNR had a picture of one from Spirit (I think) in April on their Facebook, sounds like there are a fair number with those big spots in that system. That is a pretty fish

Location: Elk Grove Village, IL & Phillips, WI		Saw the picture you posted on the other site. Sure looks European. Not your typical Busse fish.

It would be huge for a chain pickerel. Plus I dont think we have pickerel around here.
