This is a Northern Pike correct? I found this photo on the interweb, I believe it was caught in Europe. I don't know, just seeing what you guys think.

I don't think they do tiger muskies in Europe...though I could be mistaken. The only pike species in Europe are the Northern and Amur pike, and that one isn't an Amur.

The slightly more pointy caudal fin makes me feel that its a hybrid... plus i have a suspicion that guy and backdrop is american. I could be wrong though...

The main problem with this thread is the fact your link takes us to a forum where someone gathered photos by unknown people from various reported locations which we are unable to verify or communicate with the actual author/photographer. in the future, I would prefer we communicate with the actual photographer/author.

:-k It's weird looking. The upper half of the fish has a tiger musky pattern and the bottom half has the spots and markings of a Northern Pike. Hmmmm...... :-k

Its a Northern Pike.

Their colors can vary.

Pretty sure Ireland, the UK and the rest of Europe only have Northern Pike.

I have seen a lot of photos of Pike caught in Europe and I have caught a lot of Pike and the ones from Europe really do look different. You can see a lot of photos of pike caught in Europe and other interesting fish here....

Is it me, or does that picture look photoshopped? Look at the guy's left hand, the orientation of the fingers is wrong.
