Guess what kind of fish?

Caught this fish at my cabin, guess what it is?

A massive chain pickeral?

 

[Gamefishin]

That looks like a northern Pike but it's a little too dark. I believe the europeans have a Northern pike too and it's dark like that. That would be my final answer.....am I write or wrong.

I gotta agree with Gamefishin, a dark phase northern.

Is that a hybrid? the white mottling is too small to be a chain pickerel. The body markings look like those of a Northern pike (Esox lucius) but, the fin and facial patterns are wrong. Definitely not an Amur pike since Amurs have dark spots on a light background.

Whatever it is, I hope you're keeping it alive. That's a centerpiece for a large cool-water tank.

Did you post up some pics on another thread on UK pikes.....here's the link and it looks just like those on the picture.

There are several minor variations, I think those pics were from north Dakota.

gamefishin is right, northern pike, 32". there's lots of em in there.

I was going to say northern pike, but you already answered the question. That's a pretty sweet fish. What lake is it from?
