4/26/2010 10:01:00 AMTiger muskie are pike-musky hybrids, so it would not be unusual for the fish to show characteristics of either or both.

4/26/2010 11:08:00 AMIve caught plenty of Musky out of newman, and every one of them looked like a musky, that pic clearly a pike.

4/26/2010 5:47:00 PMI clicked on the Newman Lake report and checked out the pics before reading anything else... I Instantly had to double check and make sure I actually clicked Newman and not POR or CDA. There is no doubt that that is a Pike!!!

4/26/2010 8:17:00 PMCould be, I just get the feeling that people are overlooking the fact that "hybrid" means that exactly 50% of this fish's genes came from a musky, and 50% came from a pike. How many of you look like one of your parents, while your sister or brother looks like the other? Sorry to sound like a boring old biology teacher here, but I am one so I can't help it! I just wish I could get one of those big suckers, whether it looked like a pike or a musky, to bite my hook out there... I've tried many times with no luck. Kudos to those of you that have figured 'em out!

4/27/2010 7:39:00 PMWell folks, I'm here to add my 2 cents worth. If that is a tiger mucky I'll eat my own spinnerbait. That my friends is a pike. Genes or no genes. No, Newman is not connected to the POR or any of it's tributaries. That fish would have come from someones livewell and I applaud them for it. I know, I'll probably get shredded for saying that but if the state of washington had any sense, they would promote pike fishing and plant them wherever they could. Look at the tourism created in the great lakes areas thet is generated by people that want to go catch pike. I wish there were lakes in washington that were stocked with pike. I don't know why anyone would want to fish for anything else. Guess I'm a little biased. If you haven't caught one, go do it. You will be hooked.
Happy fishing

4/27/2010 9:13:00 PMBased on the "genes or no genes" comment, I guess I'll have to concede to being outsmarted here. It probably doesn't have genes... Happy fishing all!

4/27/2010 10:02:00 PMspinnerbait89, I intended no offense with my genes or no genes comment. I hope I didn't offend you. If I did, please accept my apologies.

5/20/2010 8:39:00 PMI've never seen a muskie with spots like that before. That's got to be a pike.

7/1/2010 8:22:00 PMits a pike no matter what genes it has it would have characteristics of a musky but this doesnt. it has a dark body light marks the tail is rounded not pointy. but the tiger musky also has round tips to but the coloration on the tail is all rong it has that tail of a pike with the marking and coloration if it was a tiger it would have some type of musky coloration and this fish does not its a PIKE
