Ottawa Kid

I was fishing the ottawa river today near the downtown area. I about 15 feet off shore I hooked into what I thought was a large pike 36". The fish went nuts jumping 3 or 4 times When I got it into the shore I realized that it had a beak and was spotted. A quick search pulled up this page http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/species-especes/s...pottedGar_e.asp Has anyone else seen or heard of one of these in the area I've only seen one at BPS. There is no picture my roomate lost the fish getting the hook out
