I have a question about fish....I don't know if anyone can answer it though... I found a fish once while fishing in southern Indiana, it looked very similar to a pike, I was fishing with a dry fly on the top of the water, the fish went under it and sucked it in. Does anyone know what kind of fish it was. And I already know it wasn't a catfish.
I know you asked this quite a while ago, but this PDF (I'm from Maine) has a good identification chart on page 13 comparing chain pickerel, northern pike, and muskellunge.
jeeze people. from the description it was probably a tiger muskie. they are a hybrid of pike and muskie created by humans but they do sometimes occur in the wild
Man, that is one ugly lookin' fish! Although, come to think of it, ugliness is likely one of the criteria they look for for featuring a fish on that show.
They get very large in the rivers in Texas. I used to catch them on trot lines strung across the river. I never caught any thing big though. SOME people eat them, not me.
The fish was about a foot to a foot and a half, it was a darker shade, more like a dark green or brown. It looked similar to the alligator gar but not an close to that size

They are sometime called "jack pike," "Ohio River pike," etc.
Do you remember what color it was? or how big it was? If you could provide some of that, maybe someone could help...
