Is this pike a crossbreed??

Post by instincter » Sun Jul 17, 2016 3:55 pm

I caught this 31.5" pike in a small mid-michigan lake yesterday. I don't think I've seen one with bars on the sides like this before and the top of its back looked striped. Does it have some Muskie in it or what? I talked to a friend that did some net surveying with the DNR and he said they caught a few like this among a lot more normal looking pike and they labeled them Tiger Muskie Cross. It's definitely not a tiger though. Thoughts?

Just a 100% pike in my opinion but definitely an interesting specimen.
