pickerel that is....

mighty fat at 3lbs 14oz.:

other than this fish, the day sucked.

Geez Dave, that thing does have a gut on it! 8-)

That thing looks like it weighs almost as much as you  ;D

Good catch.

You are doing great so far this year.

Keep it up.

Any college selection???? 

Congrats on your new Pb! Nice snotrocket!  ;D

That's a big pickeral alright. Very nice. I loved them, on light tackle -they sure can zip if you let them.

thanks guys. it put up a great fight on my 6'6" MM avid crankbait rod! such a good long fight i was waiting for my crankbait to just fall out of its mouth :-/ i never have good luck keeping pickerels hooked on crankbaits.

Dave, have you caught any bass on any of your lures?

And if so, which ones?

As for wearing the PFD....so when the boat tips over as you stand up with that 10-pounder and your dad takes the photo and you tip to one side and flip the boat, and as you and your dad are treading water trying not to go under and grabbing as much equipment as possible you will have time to get the PFD and put it on?

I hope someone video tapes that event.

Of course, I hope it never happens but things happen fast on the water and one never should mess with either water or electricity.

The PFD was designed to be worn.  A floation cushion is designed to hold onto to float and in Virginia your boat must have one on deck and ready to throw.

On another subject, what colleges are you still considering?

Remember, the girls are prettier and the fishing better as you go south. 

Thats a biggun, My biggest pickeral is 4lbs 06oz..

nice catch, but really i'm just posting to get off of 666 posts

thanks guys.

Sam,

i've caught a few bass on a few of my shad and bluegill swimbaits.

that would make for a good video

decided on UMBC (wanted to go south, but it wouldn't work out with my parents)

Hey D....fishin' might've been tuff but that rascal brightened up things for you I'm sure  I love catchin'em 

Big O
