No chain pickerel here either. Great catch on the light rod and reel.

Great catch IWG!....We have no chain pickerel in Minnesota....just the northern pike...The colors and patterns on these chain pickerel are certainly beautiful and so unique...especially the dark bar that runs through the eye....northern pike don't have that...Again,nice catch!

IWG-What???!!!A 1/32 oz jighead .So you were using what 4# test? I cant believe he didnt break off.

I'd love to catch one that size. Yes...definitely a Grade-A Bluegill Management Device.

Love the markings on that fish and on pickerel in general. My brother in law is an avid bass fisherman in Arkansas and is always disappointed when he gets a pickerel. Seems like they consider them a nusiance there. Their sharp teeth have stolen many bass lures...guess that's the reason.

Hey John, He hit a 1/32 oz chartreuse jighead with panfish assassin body (crystal shad color).
