i'm not sure if you guys remember, but i posted here a few weeks ago asking how to catch bass. after weeks and weeks of catching nothing but perch, today changed. i had two bass on but they came off (they're really hard to hook), but the big thing. i caught this, i'm not sure if it's a muskie or a pike, it was amazing. it attacked my little perch lure right as i was about to recast, it slammed it.

i never thought i would catch one of these fish, so i had a hard time picking it up, i first tried to hold it through its gills but apparently this fish has sharp teeth all the way back, that was painful. i just grabbed it by its head.

i'm so excited. what kind of fish is it?

(ignore the black hole effect in the backround, idk why my camera does that)
