Nice catch Kelly! Real cool markings. I believe you can accomplish your quest with your skill and a little luck.

Local pickerel in here go for native golden shiners as a preferred forage. Gold Mepps spinners or gawdy, bronze or gold hairjigs get em.

Great fish , Kelly! Beautiful markings! Marylands Eastern Shore and Delaware annually produce 7 pounders, but I haven't ever heard of an eight. I like 'big snakes', as we call them. Boy, they sure can wreck a spinnerbait!
