grt1 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I caught 2 of those last summer in Gullrock, I thought they might have been small muskies but I counted the holes under the jaw and this seemed to make them a pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeedLine Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Saw an episode of FishTV where Leo and Ron are fishing pike in Esnagi lake and Ron catches a silver pike in the 12-15lb range. I think they said 1 in every 19, 000 pike get this colour mutation. The guide on the show said that they are common in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trappermd Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I caught one of these pike in Saskatchewan last week. The Cree Indians and local guides call it a blue pike. This one was 41" and is still swimming in Reindeer Lake. I will try to get the photo down to 250kb for upload later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigson Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 So to clear a few things up. "Blue Pike " are extinct. Originally found in Lake Erie. However they are actually Walleye. But, in SW Ontario most ppl call Walleye by Pickerel. "Silver Pike" as shown in OP are indeed a genetic mutation of Northern Pike but they reproduce and are recognized seperately for record purposes. Im gonna guess that these "blue bass" are mis-identified blue gills or somthing else but without pics I really dont know. Anyway, im going after Pike in August in a lake known to have "Silver Pike". Anybody have more info on them? Specifically around North Bay? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 silver pike or as known as grass pike Grass pike, or grass pickerel are a different species. Silver pike is just a colour variation of northern pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
