Odd pattern, but not a Tiger Muskie, as they typically have dark marks on a light background. Yours has light marks on a dark background. Could be a hybrid Northern Pike / Grass Pickerel, but it has quite similiar appearance to the Esox cisalpinus (European)

Hmmm, definitely a funky pattern! Some type of pike hybrid...
Special Thanks to all my valued sponsors and my darling wife for all their support!

I'm pretty sure it's a chain pickerel
