Fish ID ???

Pickerel or what old Timers called a Jackfish

[Slew]

I emfound them in ditches on woods rds n hardin co several times. Seen tons of them on caddo bistineau cross lake n saline n black lake n la.

I've caught Jackfish on all those lakes. Dorcheat Bayou was the worst. It's full of those dang things. Tie on a shiny new Rogue and they'll tear it all to hell. Received my Lake Bistineau dental degree rolling their lips back with needle nose to get my baits back. Only fish that would wreck a bait worse was Grinnel

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.

Also someone using minnows that dumped their left over minnows into the stock tank. I called it a stock tank because I figured you had ducks and such....

We caught some in a backwoods pond in the SHNF years ago, it was surprising. How long is that one?

Sure hope they don't make it to Liberty county.

That's a hand rolled Cuban bass!!

[Snakelover]

Very cool. I've never seen one. Well... outside of a pickled one in Ichthyology lab.

They fight good too. The only one of size I've ever caught was just out of Tyler. About 2 pounds.

That would give my grandson's spiderman pole a fit.

Well now I guess Hardin County is known for black panthers and pickerel

LOL there bound to be Sasquatch near by!

[coonazz]

[JonBoy]

Definitely a Pickerel (looks like a chain pickerel to me)...I caught a boat load of those guys in upstate NY a few years ago...very hard fighting
