Seen this a lot on here. Comes up a couple times each season. Young Pike my friends.Thoser  bars or stripes will fade out with age and turn to spots. Not all young Pike are like that but I've seen quite a few. In places where there are no Tigers. I know, I know someone coulda dumped one or two in. Young Pike, It's a young Pike.

100% pike.  Tigers tails are much more rounded the muskie or pike, look at that ones tail.  Also they have dark stripes on light background.  That fish has light stripes, which trapper just pointed out are fading to the spots.

Changed my mind . Its a pike. Im looking at the tail and fin coloring. also pike colors can vary water to water as well as season. I have also caught small pike with those bars.

 Now I don't know ?? If you look at all the pics of juvenile pike they are small... Like tiny small under 20"... I have never seen one carry that coloration to that size. Interesting... The fins are Definately the  coloration of a pike.

Here's some pics of some real young pike I found.  They do look a bit like tigers due to their colors and patterns, but as someone mentioned above they lose them through time and get the typical bars of a pike.  In the pic in question it's losing the juvenile markings, while gaining the bars.  Kind of a teenager- not a kid, not an adult lol.

Although I have no doubt whatsoever it's a juvenile pike I agree they usually loose the bars by that size.
