They have real wide boxy mouths not like the skinny long pointy mouths pickerel have. I was thinking they might be pike fry I'll get a better picture next one I catch as I'm sure it will happen the place is loaded with them.

Red fin pickerel. Lots of them in the canal. Tear-drop under the eye means no equal muskellunge.

100% pickerel. The eye stripe is a dead give away but markings and body all say pickerel as well

looks like a chain pickerel

Tear drop gives away a chain pickerel, but the rest doesn't look like it. Get better photos anyway. The state does stock muskies in the canal, at least has fairly recent.

Interesting catch. I would like a redfin pickerel for my aquarium.

This is a pic of a Redfin pickerel on the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commision website. It looks very similar to the one you caught.
