hello fellow anglers. sorry to post another pic of a pick, but this guy was a beast. i nailed him on a double blade spinner about ten feet from shore, and my drag was screaming. the idea that pickerel dont fight good is insane. i had to crank down on the drag as tight as i could manage, and he still ran. when i got this whopper in he was to strong for me to even get a good handle on. so one snap of the cam phone and sent him on his way. this guy is almost a new PB. maybe a tie. 30" long

sorry......why????  thats a great catch, and and its in the correct catagory. This is exactly where the post is supposed to be

the idea that pickerel dont fight good is insane.

Yes, it's insane. I caught my first pickerel perhaps 35 years ago and I've always thought they fight better than largemouth.

Very nice fish.

Awsome pickerel! hes a wopper.

And pickerel do fight better than bass for their weight.

Nice Pickerel!!!  That is one fish that has never seen the end of my hook... one day maybe!!!

THATS A NICE PINE BARRENS PICKEREL!!!!!

   

Any fish that is willing to bite, I am willing to catch...

Thank you very much sir. I just figured that most bass fisherman dont like pickerel. Waiting for my first, "not another pickerel" comment  

pickerel do have their own style when you fight them, they are alot of fun to catch. :)My best pickerel i caught was 4lbs.
