Default Busted up little Pike

Got this tough little guy over the weekend. Had the obvious wound on his head, as well as a broken upper jaw and numerous scars on his side and head. Any guesses on how it happened?

Bigger Pike?
Any waterfalls nearby? Maybe he went over, lol.

Wow, looks like a gangster Patterson Pike. Must have been in a Pike gang brawl. Either a bigger Pike or some crazy bird got its talons in him.

This guy was above the 3 major dams/falls, but below Pompton Lake dam, so if he did go over that, hes one lucky little bastard. Made two jumps despite the 41 degree temps, was very impressed for such a beat up fish. Had the heart of a future 36"+ for sure lol.

Could be a failed attempt from a bow fisherman?

Tycomps, I got one earlier in the year at Two Bridges that had a small inline spinner in his gills, dangling out like a piece of jewelry. I assessed it and realized it probably would have done more damage then good to remove it. These fish really stop at nothing for a meal. Very hardy fish, definitely a good thing considering all the people catching them now with no experience or proper tools required for a fish with teeth.
