Caught this little guy earlier this year in the Passaic and was wondering if anyone knew which species it was. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of Muskie. Either a stocker tiger or a juvenile pure. Some other people say its a small pike. I don't think it's a pike tho. Any thoughts?

Small Pike. I had one Saturday morning that looked EXACTLY like this guy. I'll try to get a picture up.

Beautiful fish though. Love the stripes towards his tail.

Ya I guess it could be a pike. It's tOugh to tell when they are small but I was thinkin it had a Muskie looking head. Anyone know what kind of condition the Passaic is in?
