Tail has a bit of white to it, may be a Saugeye?.?
Sauger?
So Kody went out with a couple buddies today and got first blood on his new boat. I’ve never caught one I don’t think but is this a Sauger?

caught this one the other day, the face seemed smushed in like it ran into a wall when it was young, cutting the cheeks out I remember it had a slightly different bone structure and sometimes Ive noticed fish with deformities but now Im thinking this one might have been a sauger or just a walleye deformed in the face
Does anyone know if sauger bone structure is different around the mouth? From the pics Ive seen comparing the two species it looks like sauger face is pushed in. Anyway this one had the weird splotches too

Sauger vs. Saugeye (How to Tell Them Apart) – Strike and Catch
Saugeye outgrow sauger by several inches and pounds, as they are a crossbreed between sauger and walleye. While both fish will have dark blotches on their bodies, sauger are generally darker and more tanned than saugeye. Saugeye will also have a white tail patch, which sauger lack completely.
