All 4 were italian pike(esox cisalpinus), the guy told you "look, this is an italian pike!" not because it was any different than the others but because he wanted to highlight the fact that italian pike are very feisty and they fight really hard! After the fight he was like "have you seen that? This is how an italian pike fights like!", that's what he meant. Great video by the way, I live 30 minutes away from this lake and it is not that easy to get 'em!
Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching! Yes I was told there were some hybrid northern/italian pike there as well. Super cool experience and you're blessed to live in such a beautiful area. I had some great guides so without them I definitely wouldn't have done so well😆
