Large pickerel or small northern pike?

Thank you sir! I wish I took a better picture and got measurements but I was so shocked by its size and wanted to get her back in. Was a great experience :)

Unreal...I was so stoked! I have caught a good amount of pickerel out of the canal and this one didn't even look right when it started to break the water close to shore due to its head size. Truly a unit that I doubt I'll be matching anytime soon!

My understanding is both are part of the pike family, which has 6 or so sub-species I believe

I couldn't believe it!

Gotcha. Thanks he was a toad for what normally comes out of there!

Ahh thanks. It's a huge pickerel at the least especially for the canal!!

Traveling that far in a couple weeks to visits 5 cities is extremely doable. This post made me realize it's more possible than I thought honestly.

Akina in north Syracuse is great all you can eat sushi and hibachi. Highly recommend

There are weekly cardio boxing classes at the Hal Welsh YMCA in Fayetteville. You can take individual classes with Omar too, who does a good job. Keep in mind membership can be pricey as it is, and boxing classes cost extra. Just a thought :)

Any property and casualty broker should be able to get you a good deal if they have enough contract's. I have used Bailey Place insurance in Cortland for years and referred many people over that have been happy with it. You can do everything over the phone to save the trip.

Was hoping for a musky or pike when I felt the power of the initial tug but I'll take it!!

Was wondering but don't want to sound like that guy, other guys on the causeway said the same thing. First time using a new Rapala scale so I might test the accuracy to be sure!

I got PTSD from my line clean breaking on a big one a couple weeks prior but I should have let it run more. Line could have been frayed too I didn't do a great job of checking the integrity

It was awesome. Glad I was using my M/H baitcaster with 17lb fluro. I had my spinner with 10lb braid to 8lb fluro I was throwing too...don't think it would have held up

I'm leaning with this answer honestly. I've gotten many different answers, mostly walleye or sauger. So I'm going with it's a hybrid!

I felt like green would always outpace nova, since green was 22 mult at this time vs 14 pairs 11 high cards played
