Looks like it was caught on four fawn budgies and half a red parrot :D :D :D An Extravaganza Fly.
That's a mighty aray of propulsion fittings on it back end ! It must have an awesome burst of power and speed !

Aye Fred , yanks have to do everything bigger than everyone else. Just look at the size of their heads.
The correct name of the fish is a Muskellunge or Muskie for short. It is indeed a member of the Pike family
the Americans know our Pike as Northern Pike.
