Hey Jim, this is the largest Pickerel I've ever successfully landed! It was 30+ inches (I couldn't get an accurate measurement as it was rocking my Kayak so badly I was worried that it would tip me over). My Boga Grip registered it as just over 6 lbs (unfortunately my Boga Grip is not digital or I could have had a more accurate weight reading)! It was a very large specimen and I could not get the entire fish in one camera shot (I was taking its picture while holding it at arm's length in my kayak). It's also the only fish that's ever pulled out of my Boga Grip once it was "locked on" as it pulled out when I first lifted it out of the water (very fortunate that I had it hooked well in its upper jaw). After the quick photos, I immediately released it as its thrashing was starting to unsteady the kayak!!! By the way, that was a Dandy of a Gill that Matt landed!! Way to go!!!
