Definitely in the Passaic. I've caught a couple of those and wondered what exactly they were. I will try to find the pics.

Love those pickerel

So, Tiger Pike?? Pike-Erel??

I don't doubt they could be in the Passaic. But, all the spots I've caught pike, ive never caught a pick. I find that to be a bit strange. I'm pretty sure if they were there I would have caught at least 1 by now (pickerel that is).

What other NJ waters have both swimming together??

Sorry bro can't find the pics. Skillfulangler908 can speak for me on this one we pulled a couple of those in I'm 157% sure lol. I have never caught a pickerel on the Passaic yet but I have pulled in a baby tiger Muskie. That place has become my new favorite place to fish. Oddly enough we still haven't pulled in one single bass there in about 6 trips this year.

Man you got me all worked up for nothin! lol

I have yet to land a Pickerel in the Passaic, but my buddy did a few years back while I was fishing with him. Hit a big spoon if I remember correctly. Also, another member posted a picture of a big one landed from his kayak a couple months ago. Here's the one my buddy landed, caught in Pine Brook. They're definetly in there, apparently pretty rare though. How big were the 'Pike-erels' that you landed from the river?

Ya I saw that pic the guy posted of that pickerel it was a nice one. Lots of people don't like pickerel but I do. I fish the D and R canal by my house all the time which is loaded with pickerel my biggest being around 6lbs. The pike/pickerel we caught were all small maybe around 17 inches. I'll try to get my pickerel pic on here I know I have that one

I know the Millstone and Farrington Lake have both Pike and Pickerel in them. I caught this guy in the Passaic, who looks somewhat similar to those hybrids with a few vertical bars but I figured it was just color variance

I could definetly see the vertical bars and it kinda looks from the picture that it has a faint "teardrop" marking like the pickerel do. This is getting interesting lol.
