What kind of fish is this

[Tarpon4me]

LOL, it's not a pike. I'm in SC as well, and have caught many of these acrobatic little buggers. That my friend is locally known as a jackfish. The proper name is a chainpickerel. I understand that it is related to pike in some fashion, but they don't get much bigger than a few pounds.

If that alarms you, wait until you catch a 4' long gar, or a 10 pound mudfish. (bowfin) Lots of teeth!
