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.
