Pike or Musky

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

those are both clearly pike, when in doubt count the pores. The muskellunge has six to nine pores on each side of the lower jaw, while the pike has five to seven. Check out this illustration, http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/water/fh ... rences.gif

Have to aagree with the majority, both fish are definately pike.

The following website will help you identify Pike, Musky and the Pike/Musky hybrid known as a Tiger Musky

More often than not, as soon as you see those white or light yellow spots, you've got yourself a pike.
