27", had to figure 8 the spinnerbait for quite some time before she bit, pretty neat!

Nice pickerel.  I got into a few this weekend as well, just not that big but they were hungry and eating...

Wow! that's a monster!! Where did you get him?

Beauty! 

I hear people on here talk about pickerel so I had to look it up. It looks like a cross between a pike and walleye. I learned Canadians call walleye pickerel. Some place in Minnesota has a pickerel tournament each year even though they don't have pickerel. The top thing on the Google search says it's another name for a walleye then goes into detail about walleye.

 

The second or third one I read explains that they're more closely related to a pike than walleye who is a part of the pirch family. I'm going to go with this guy on what a pickerel is, but then again it is the internet so who knows. 

 

Either way cool fish and congrats!

A pickerel is to a pike as a perch is to a walleye.

 

Same family, similar fish, big difference in size.

One of the biggest pickerels I've seen in a minute..........nice

There you go ~ That's a Loooong one !

Just don't see too many that size. 

Interesting how when the C-Pickerel get over say 24 inches or so, they almost look like a different fish.

Really clean & colorful pattern on that one.

Congrats 

btw-I've been meaning to ask, if I mail you a self addressed envelope with a small patch of cloth in it, could you do me a huge favor and just lightly wipe the cloth on your brow and mail it back to me - Please ? ? ?

 I say lightly because I don't think I could handle too much of That @everythingthatswims MOJO all at once . .

A-Jay

I don't know if I've seen a bigger one.  I haven't seen many but that's a long and fat one.

That is a stud of a CP!  Congrats!
