Common names don't work for pikes....not really....lol. So i have no idea which pike you are talkin about. It sounds like a type of Saxatilis pike though, just by the way you described it and all. Pictures are most helpful....;)

Just watch out for the band width...lol...its a killa! But tis a great site! One of my 'bookmarked' sites...;)...also keep in mind most of the pike pictures on there are of adults...;). Lugubris pikes juv. look nothing like adults for the most part. Saxatilis pikes are a little better about this, lookin a lot like the juv wit some changes.
