10/19/2011 7:34:00 AMWow what a special fish. It looks like a Hybrid cross between a Northern Pike and a Squaw fish. It has a spotted type coloring like a Pike and the forked tail of a Squaw Fish. I'm convinced we have a new species here. Did you release it? I suggest an all out gill netting program to try to rid the POR of this new preditor. OK I'm just kidding. Although I have never caught one, I to believe that is a Mackinaw that made his way over the dam from PO Lake.
