I wasn't aware the Ottawa had them granted they're fairly rare. Has anyone else ever got in in the Ottawa?

I believe it's silver (or grey) because it's not very healthy. lol Look at it, It's basically skin and bones!

Kidding, no I think I've seen threads like this before and the most common answer is, it's your everyday pike, just with different colouring because of the water conditions. I've seen a ton of walleye, sauger that come from the Ottawa, that are super pale.

"Another form of northern pike, the silver pike, is not a subspecies but rather a mutation that occurs in scattered populations. Silver pike, sometimes called silver muskellunge, lack the rows of spots and appear silver, white, or silvery-blue in color."[3] from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_pike

I have caught one before on the Mississippi but they are very rare, I hope the link helped

Yup, pretty common on the Ottawa.

Agreed, common on the OR.

I guess common is a relative term...I have caught many many pike off the Ottawa this year... I have never seen this before. Only on tv...
