philB Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi A recent post on the all aboard section got me thinking again about this little fish, Latin name 'Esox americanus americanus' . I have had this nagging interest in Pickerell since I started fishing for its larger cousins esox lucius many many years ago. Has anyone ever caught one???? If you have I would love to see a picture if one was taken. The Redfin Pickerell is the smallest growing of the esox family but I dont suppose I will ever see one in real life . philB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 In Wisconsin, we'd call that a hammer handle because of the size. I would perfer hunting the Esox masquinongy and as always, bigger is better. If a fishing rod gets snapped, a finger or two ends up missing, or the boat just sinks, it's a small price for landing a New World Record MUSKY. With luck, a new Illinois state record could happen any time. The Department of Natural Resources claim to have shocked several up while doing thier annual counts... So, cross your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fish-pete http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1321309857066678207BIikuU That's a chain pickerel. Supposedly we have redfins in NJ but I've never seen one that I know of. May have caught some when I was younger but don't remember. I think their range is pretty limited here and they're protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
