Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I caught a little pike with a blue mouth and some of it's fins were blue-ish as well. I tried to attach a pic but it's too big and I'm just on my phone, might upload it to photobucket later. Anybody ever see this in pike (or other fish) before or know why it's that colour? Everything else about it was normal and healthy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Never seen or heard of that! Ive caught one pike that was normal on one side and white on the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acountdeleted Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I know up north they have 'silver pike' it's just a different colour phase. May be similar with this as well. Like blue walleye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Have seen lots of blue tinged walleye. Apparently it's a pigment in their slime. May be something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It wasn't a silver pike, still had normal green sides with white spots. Wish I could link the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sorry, my bad. I was using smurfs for bait. Ya, it's the same blue algae that some walleye have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallie Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I read somewhere that blue walleye were simply lacking a pigment in thier skin that normally produces thier golden colour. It was a minor genetic mutation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch seguin Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 There were a few Timmins back lakes where 'blue' pike could be had. My young lads at the time thought they were 'cool'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 That looks different from the blue walleye i've caught. Maybe just how it's expressed on a pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
