Gar pike
Here a pic of a gar pike I snagged with a husky jerk. They're everywhere in this back bay of this lake. Strange fish...Put up a pretty good fight though. It jumped completely out of the water about 3 times.

Garpike must be local term for Gar. Gar is a Gar is a miserable no good prehistoric fish. Gar,Pickerel,Walleye are all seperate species. Biggest fresh water fish I've ever seen was a Gar.

RE: Gar pike
Rusty,
Yep - Alligator gar. There is another type of gar out there,but can't remember? One is bigger than the other. Nasty fish and - terrible in spring when they spawn, eat everthing in their wake,muck up bass and other spawning grounds (like carp).
