The small one looks like a northern... the big one actaully does, too, except that it's so damn big. My guess would've been northern (small) and muskie (big), but the spots look pretty defined on the big one, so it wouldn't be a muskie.
Had that happen to me once in canda nearly shit mt pants !!!!!! Played with that fish for 15 minute then he spit it out half eaten but it was fun.
sportsnut13....I had something similar to what you had. I had a small pike on reeling him in when all of a sudden my buddy said he since something flash under the pike. He did alright, it was a muskie app 20 lbs. After grabbing hold of it he seemed like he just played with it, carried it away for a few seconds then let it go. I reeled in a pike with teeth and scrap marks on him.
Side note....just for interest sake, anyone that catches a muskie and are intending on releasing it, which would be nice, if you take the measurement there's a simple rule to get you the app weight. A 28 inch muskie usually is 5 lbs. Add a pound for every inch up, a 10 pounder would be 33 inches, a 15 pounder would be 38 inches etc. If anyone who has caught a muskie knows the weight and length maybe they could back this up. Last weekend my brother had called me as they were bass fishing and they had caught a muskie. The fish was bleeding profusely so he called to ask if there was any sense putting him back. They had measured him at 39 inches, so I had said he's in around 16 pounds. His gill plate was destroyed so they kept it and weighted it when they got back....16 pounds 3 ounces....so the rule proved itself again.
