Caught this morning in Spring Creek that feeds into the Tennessee River. I've been trying to match it to pictures online but can't really find a good match. Anybody wanna take a guess?

A membor of the pike family, either sauger or walleye.

looks like a sauger. A close relative of the walleye and normally found in rivers.

Yep. Sauger. The blotchy markings are a dead giveaway.

That is actually a very nice sauger from the looks of it. We normally fish for them from about Nov to early spring below Pickwick dam.
