The quickest way to tell a northern pike from a muskie is to note that the northern has light markings on a dark body background, while muskies generally have dark markings on a light background.
A foolproof method is to count the pores on the underside of the jaw: the northern has five or fewer; the muskie has six or more.
Northerns also have rounded tail fins, compared to the pointy tail fins of a muskie.
