Re: Fish Identification (Passaic pike hybrid?)
It looks an awful lot like a juvenile Tiger Muskie to me.. Pike/ Chain Pickerel hybrids typically have spots and chain markings of varying patterns and do not look like that.. To me it looks like a young tiger musky.
After looking at a bunch of photos of various Esox i did see a few pictures of Grass and Redfin Pickerel with marking that were similar to yours, but as you stated that fish would be HUGE one if its a grass or redfin pickerel.. Only problem is, tigers should not be in the river unless its in their by accident somehow.
