20 inch pickerel

Ended up fishing in the woods of Malaga lake in south jersey because of all the fathers day crowds and ended with this monster along with about 4 other smaller pickerel

The pic is kinda crappy because he was 1 angry s.o.b. and didn't want to hold him any longer than I had to. Managed to get the tape next to him though and he was a hair over 20 inches, personal beat by a few inches. Very chunky too, put up 1 heck of a fight.

Regardless of the species...gotta try to take care of the fish better than that. Nice fish though!

I tried but he just didn't want to be held. I did manage to get the hook out clean and he was released and swam away strongly. Just got a little muddy from all the flopping around he insisted on doing.
