Grimace Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Its a Silver. They are a Northern pike without the colour. The DNA is the same as a Northern. My dad caught this one Ice fishing in Lake Abitibi. Congrats you don't get to see them every day.
purekgw Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 well i was up north this week and we where fishing so back bays and caught 2 blue bass to bad we did have a camera with us
waterwolf Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) fishin' with a friend and his mrs. 10 or 11 yrs. ago on sparrow lake in a canoe. he tossed a frog to blue pike resting still near the surface . it was about the same size as your pike . asked the outfitter there about it he didn't believe my buddy 'til the pike was shown to him . he didn't know what to make of it. read an article in oood mag.about these fish and mnr asks you report and catches or sightings. nice picture of a rare fish ,,congrat's.

Moosebunk Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Lots of those fish in the Abitibi and tributary river systems of the Northeast.

StylinCatch Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Definetly a Silver pike, grass pike from what i believe , still have markings , just a different coloured green tint. Not forsure, but pretty sure.
Greencoachdog Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Definetly a Silver pike, grass pike from what i believe , still have markings , just a different coloured green tint. Not forsure, but pretty sure. 154 channels and nothings on eh?
grt1 Posted February 7, 2009 Report 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.
WeedLine Posted February 7, 2009 Report 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.
codered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Went to a small lake for a walleye session yesterday...we did good, normal haul of species...then my buddy Chuck hooks into this fish that looks exactly like a pike, with no markings and blue/purple in coulor......any ideas what it is. Im sure it is a silver pike rare find indeed. were was it caught? This was caught in northern ontario
StylinCatch Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 154 channels and nothings on eh? Explain yourself clearly, i dont quite understand, sounds pretty cocky though.
trappermd Posted September 6, 2009 Report 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
scuro2 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 What might be more rare is the Carling beer. They still make that stuff?
castgame Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 caught this guy in grenadier pond last year... first i'd ever seen like it
Muskieman Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Thats definately a silver pike. And thats pretty cool. A blue pike is actually a pickeral. Now I'm really confused....
Muskieman Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Nice Catch cool pic .....BUT ....Northern Pike it is. Very common here........in that particular color. Blue Pike.....Blue WALLEYE...... Black Bass.... Blue Bass ....Black Perch.... I've even Heard of a Red Eye Devil Bass that lives ONLY in Temagami. Color variations. RFS
bubbles Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 I've caught 2 over the past 5 years, both from Chapleau area. They are neat looking.
Craigson Posted July 17, 2014 Report 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
John Bacon Posted July 17, 2014 Report 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.
