So silvery, that's why I asked. Very different in color than the one Fast Eddie caught a few years ago.
Not many Esox go through the ladder, they must be few and far between. Those numbers may ultimately drop even further with stocking discontinued on the Millstone.

The Suckers swim upstream to spawn this time of year. Usually a March, April thing and when they run there’s usually a Musky in the area.

Dukes Farm Eagles are in the area too. Eaglets are hungry and growing!

The fish Fast Eddie caught has spectacular colors ! All of the fish caught in the section where this pike was caught are more silvery. Last year I caught one closer to the Millstone that had more color.

The fish shown in the viewer, was that a pike or muskie?

I thought the one on the viewer was a Muskie, who knows?
