Pike?

[fredscott]

Yes it is a pike. I see dark markings on the tail fins, where the chain pickerel has no markings on the tail fins. Pike are a lot of fun on the ice with tip ups and jigging. I attached a photo of a pike a client caught this past ice season. It was 43" and weighed 20+ lbs. It was caught on a jig stick in 5 feet of water while perch fishing. Pike do get awesomely big in some of the deep cold ponds and lakes here in Vermont. Good luck to you next ice season!
