East Spring Lake Pond

I think this is actually a Muskellunge. According to the North Dakota fish identification guide a Muskellunge has vertical bars and 6-8 pores on each side of the lower jaw. A Northern Pike has horizontal body spots and no more than 5 pores on the lower jaw. This fish has 8 and vertical bars. I think I misidentified this when I originally caught and posted this.

Caught couple 7 pounders. Caught several more smaller ones.
