    What I remember about the blue pike in the '50's (and it seems like yesterday) is a pale blue-grey color, no hint of yellow, the same glass eyes and no white tag on the tail. They were very aggressive running thru the minnow school under the Coleman lantern which was suspended over the water by a homemade 3' metal rod anchored in the oar lock. The biggest blue pike I remember was about 18 inches and we caught virtually thousands of them in the dark 2 miles north of Avon Point. I loved to jig the minnow baits just below the minnow school. My dad, uncle and friends preferred fishing 2'-3' off the bottom which I recall to be 40' down. I remember that we rarely had trouble finding a hard rock bottom and the pike and when we did it was game on.

    Default More info.

    Not exactly extinct! Just rare as they are considered albinos! This link should help you out some.

    Just so you know there is also a blue color phase of the yellow perch. These 2 links should help you out.

    I tried to post these links back when this thread was active but something went wrong and I was not able to login to this site until today on my desktop, I won't try to post links from my phone so I had to wait.
