9/11 Big Pickerel

[catfishonthelake]

Had this bigazz pickerel smack a 10-inch musky crank on Hopatcong this afternoon. One of the bigger pickerel I've seen in awhile. That musky net in the pic is 38-inches across so take your best guess.

Impressive Snot Rocket! How did he fight? Did you think it was a muskie?

[Gatto1227]

Awesome fish. A pickerel that big is almost as cool as catching a musky

[catfishonthelake]

Thanks guys. Not too much of a fight with a musky rod and 80-pound braid. I did think it was a musky when I first saw it.

SHEEEEEESH, thats a big pickeral. Id love to catch him threw the ice on my ultra lite panfish popper with 2lb test. Keep em alive, thats an ice fishing tourney winner!!!

did ya weigh him in??

[catfishonthelake]

No Eddie. I never weigh fish in. Too lazy. I had a hybrid last year and a smallie the year before that both would have placed in the year-long, but I snoozed on both.
