    It’s not actually silver color but I’ve never seen one with zero spots like this. Very cool fish caught in a Park Rapids area lake that is somewhat known for having silvers.

    Nice eater! Maybe he was spending a lot of time on sand bottom? They do chameleon a bit depending on there surroundings

    I’m no silver pike pro, but I believe that to be one

    Stay off of Belle Taine Will! Lol I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the lake you were on, but we have them on BT and they are cool looking. I’ve only caught one and thought it was a tiny musky at first.

    I caught one in the metro that looked just like that a number of years ago, though it was much smaller. I did send a photo to a MN DNR fisheries contact who agreed that it was a silver pike.

    Very cool!

    I was not fishing BT. It was on another lake just down the road that I had never fished before last Saturday, caught using a drop shot and fluke. Here is a quick article about the silver pike around Park Rapids area.
