Super User flyfisher Posted February 27, 2018 Super User Posted February 27, 2018 Nice pickerel. I got into a few this weekend as well, just not that big but they were hungry and eating... Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted February 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted February 27, 2018 I hear people on here talk about pickerel so I had to look it up. It looks like a cross between a pike and walleye. I learned Canadians call walleye pickerel. Some place in Minnesota has a pickerel tournament each year even though they don't have pickerel. The top thing on the Google search says it's another name for a walleye then goes into detail about walleye. The second or third one I read explains that they're more closely related to a pike than walleye who is a part of the pirch family. I'm going to go with this guy on what a pickerel is, but then again it is the internet so who knows. Either way cool fish and congrats! Quote

Same family, similar fish, big difference in size. 3 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted February 28, 2018 Super User Posted February 28, 2018 There you go ~ That's a Loooong one ! Just don't see too many that size. Interesting how when the C-Pickerel get over say 24 inches or so, they almost look like a different fish. Really clean & colorful pattern on that one. Congrats btw-I've been meaning to ask, if I mail you a self addressed envelope with a small patch of cloth in it, could you do me a huge favor and just lightly wipe the cloth on your brow and mail it back to me - Please ? ? ? I say lightly because I don't think I could handle too much of That @everythingthatswims MOJO all at once . . A-Jay 1 2 Quote
drscholl14 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I don't know if I've seen a bigger one. I haven't seen many but that's a long and fat one. Quote
