Delewareriver, I have done some picture research on the internet and the fish does resemble identical markings and coloration of a pike/pickerel hybrid. Since there is no hybrid category and it's not an exact pike nor a pickerel it wount be fair to put it into the pickerel or pike catergory. I would believe this fish is a perfect oddball candidate specimen since it's a mixed (hybrid). In this case it happens rarely and it's the first time I ever seen such a thing in person as most people can say the same.
