Look at what's been eatin all the Gills and Crackers! Caught this nice NY Chain Pickerel on a Bobby Garland Baby Shad (Crystal) while jiggin for Gills and Crackers on a cold November Sunday (air temp was 38 degrees, bluebird skies, wind was calm).

Nice fish,never caught a pickerel.
I`ve never caught one either. Thanks for shareing the picture.
Iv caught a few before in some blackwater ponds but they were all at most 12"
Sweet,nice little fight huh,back in the water or still onshore.LOL
Nice pic!!! I agree if cleaned properly they are a right tasty meal but you can't blame the poor bugger he's gotta eat too!!

I remember fishing for crappies in river backwater and the fishing would slow down.Some one would catch a northern or muskie cruising around then they 'd start biting again.
Thanks for all the nice comments! I caught him and another one about a couple inches smaller from my canoe. He pulled me around a bit as I was driftin and not anchored (just as well as he would probably have headed straight for the anchor rope to hang me up). I couldn't get a single Gill, Crappie, or Cracker to bite with him and his mate hangin around the area. They were the only 2 bites I got the whole day.
Nice Slim Dart! That what we call them in Ma! I got one the other day on a Crappie rig!

I have heard there is a way to filet them. I catch them occasionally here in Arkansas and cut across them about 3/4 to 1 inch. Still had to put up with bones but, they are very tasty.
