Any guess as to which this fish is.

The First pic I would think Muskie but the jaw pores look like 5 or less each side which goes for weird pattern Nortn.   Ive seen young northerns in Nodak with some weird patterns you would swear are Tiger muskie but just young Northerns.

Vote:  Northern Pike atypical pattern...

Also would say say Northern b/cause of the pores.

It is a silver pike. I googled it and read an article that said lake belltain has the largest known pop of silver pike and little sand has a bunch as well. The silver pike can only spawn with other silver pike.
