Anyone have pictures of baby northern pike, musky, tiger musky, and chain pickerel. I saw some kind of baby pike, I don’t have a picture of it so I’m hoping to see which one I recognize, I only saw the fish from the top.
Also what do juvenile flathead catfish(6 inches) look like, I think I saw a couple from digging under some rocks near a river, also I only saw them from the top.

It will be faster to just Google for pics.

A lot that shows up only shows them from the side, it seems I saw a chain pickerel do to the stripe on the eye. But I can’t find any pictures of juvenile flat head catfish from above view to see if I saw that or some kind of larger madtom or a flatter bullhead.

Hopefully someone will chime in.
