Cool fish, that's one great thing about fishing to me anyway, you just never know what you're going to catch.

One of my favorite fish.
What Don said.

Thanks Don....I never target these guys but it's estimated that over 20 species of freshwater fish thrive in our brackish waters......this is why I always employ heavy cover line so that I can catch some of these big predators while pole fishing without a drag........no compromise in dark tannic waters........

  If they survive the "Jack-fish" we should call them .... IRON-JELLYS. We have a few ponds here that have more Pickerel in them than anything else. I have had them tear flies apart in just 2 or 3 fish. They can also cut your tippet with ease. When fishing one of these jack-fish ponds now I always use a braided leader and a short tippet, and even then I may lose a few flies. But....they are fun on a fly-rod......Well-Done.......Don in SC

We are blessed, Jeff, that is fact.
It's hard to take it for granted....

One big deal for me as a member has been the ability to network with many folks and we truly have world class bait makers here....Most are too humble to accept or  do not want any glory but the truth is in the results....This is one man's imagination with a few subtle details of his liking and it makes it hard to tie anything else on.....The Gronaw Grass Shrimp featured in the 2014 Panfish Guide for example......13 different species since I began fishing them back in 2012.......Jim's imagination at work and I can't leave home without them now.......
