Looks like a hybrid mix to me, but still a beautiful fish.

that is no doubt a pike pickerel hybrid...pretty cool, i've never seen one in person. the black mark on the eye gives it away if you ask me.

Hey you trying to steal my fish iceusky? Hahaaa I caught him a few days ago. I thought it was a pike/pickerel hybrid not a musky.

Delewareriver, I have done some picture research on the internet and the fish does resemble identical markings and coloration of a pike/pickerel hybrid. Since there is no hybrid category and it's not an exact pike nor a pickerel it wount be fair to put it into the pickerel or pike catergory. I would believe this fish is a perfect oddball candidate specimen since it's a mixed (hybrid). In this case it happens rarely and it's the first time I ever seen such a thing in person as most people can say the same.

njflyfisher that may be the same one or a different one lmao. What are the odds looks like the contest judges will have a nice debate. Gives us good ideas for future contests.

No problem icemusky I 100% agree it's hybrid and the odd ball category is where it belongs

[RyanMac14]

Not sure if judging is needed but I'll give my 2 cents that I agree it does belong in the oddball category because it clearly seems to be neither a pike or pickerel but a hybrid. And even though it may very well be the same fish, ice muskys fish is pictured to be a bit longer. Njfly fisher straighten your fish out a bit bud. Might be costing you some length
