Comment by John Sheehan on November 18, 2010 at 4:51pm: Clifford -I see you're from Virginia . Do you have Chain Pickerel ,Grass Pickerel and Red fin Pickerel there? I only catch chain Piks up here in NJ. I saw what I thought could be a Redfin Pickerel once but didn't have a pole.

Comment by John Sheehan on November 16, 2010 at 3:01pm: Congrats to you Matt Jim! Any Pik 20 and over is great in my book ...25" great! Great to see you here .Knew it was only a matter of time!

Comment by Jim Gronaw on November 16, 2010 at 2:55pm: Pickerel fishing is cool, and lots of opts in many areas that most don't fool with. I just got back from a father/son trip from Richmond Mill and Matt and I both landed our best ever pickerel...his was 23 inches and mine was 25. We had another at 24 inches. I got the 25 on a 1/32 oz hairjig and 2-pound test fishing for bluegills! Crazy!

Live Shiners on tipups thru the ice. .
