Fish ID ???

My guess was Northern Pike, I will have to google Pickerel. I've only got maybe three perch out of here. Everything else has been stocked channel cats.


No chance of flooding in. Birds must have carried it. Surely this is not common for an East Texas pond? I'm in Hardin County.

I think it's a pickerel and there are a handful of east Texas lakes that have them. Probably came in on a bird. Cool catch

Grass pickerel

Umm, that would be a Hardin County Pickerel!

This^^^. Wow that's crazy! I hope there ain't too many of them in here. I've never heard of one before

Chain pickerel. We used to catch them up by Texarkana and a small lake down by Alvin

Agree with the above, Pickerel.

Pickerel....caught tons of these growing up.

We used to catch lots of them when I was a kid in the 50's and 60's. We had a hunting camp in the Big Thicket near Pine Ridge just north of Sour Lake.

We fished in Black Creek and its tributaries. They were common back then.

I need to stock my pond with those!! Wonder where I can get some fingerling?
