MUSKY ARE USUALLY LIGHTER IN COLOR AND TEND TO HAVE STRIPES OR NOTHING. WHILE NORTHERN PIKE TEND TO HAVE SPOTS. PICK UP A ESOX ANGLER MAGAZINE AND YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

Dark background with white spots is a pike. Any light background with darker stripes, spots, or markings is a Muskie.

Some more info- Watch out for the pickerel's- some of these little guy's have markings very similar to a muskie's.
