Mutant northern pike

[Guest Hauki]

Hi everybody,

This is my first post in this forum so i will introduce myself. My name is Andoni, 26yr old angler from Spain, although I´ve been living in Finland for the las 3 years. I hope to learn a lot in this comunity, and share my littel knowledges about pike fishing, if that´s possible.

 

And now the question:

 

Tha fact is that fishing the Baltic this year,I met, again!!!, this weird pike with an extra finn. Has anybody fish any pike with this same mutation? Does anybody know the name of this mutation, If there is one of course? Can anybody give me some reliable information about this mutation?, perhaps some research has been done.

 

 

 

 

I hope somebody knows somethig about this mutation. If not, have a nice time checking this freak.

Nice introduction and welcome to the board Andoni!!!

 

That extra fin on that Pike is unusual for sure!... I will blame "Global Warming" for that!

Where in Finland?. My mother is from there and we visited there but it was 20+ yrs ago and I don't remember much of it. I'd love to get back there sometime for sure.

 

 

...and welcome

Can't believe nobody posted the pic of the two-headed pike yet! Maybe it was a cannibalistic pike, and one of it's victims tried to poke it's way out?

Nice pics Hauki...welcome aboard! My mother's side of the family is Finnish...I'll definitely go there one day.

Looking forward to seeing some fish from the Baltic...post away

[Guest Hauki]

I am living in Helsinki right now. I heard that there is a big Finnish comunity in Canada, mainly people who left the country during the first 50 years of the past century.

There is no doubt that Finland is a nice country, in spite of its horrible winter. if you have the chance come back and don´t fogert your fishing tackle.
