Tidal Passaic Pike/Pickerel Hybrid?
Was in the area of one of my tidal Passaic spots with the kayak on the roof, so I fished for a bit until dark. Action was hot off the bat, with a nice Pike hitting my spinnerbait on the first cast. Measured at 32" and rough photograph due to me having a brainfart and leaving my GoPro at home. Ended up with 4 Pike and one of the weirdest fish I've ever landed. Fish was about 22" long and fairly skinny. Based on the top half of his side looking Pike-ish and the bottom looking chainy like a Pickerel, I believe it was the infamous Pike-erel making an appearance. The fish also had a pretty poorly deformed upper jaw which you can also see from the pictures. Thoughts?
