Guess the fishy!!

[slipbob]

I went fishing last night and caught one nice walleye but then a lil while later I hooked into this.  Okay so it's not real hard to figure out what kind of fish this is, is it?   If you guess correctly you get.........ummmmmmmmmm.. okay, you get absolutely nothing but it's better than a stick in the eye.   I'm expecting somebody to nail this on the first reply.  By the way the fish did make a heck of a jump too.  Very acrobatic, like a steelhead.

It's a weed king, as I call them. Part of the chain gang.

Well that big it is not a hammer handle.

looks like a pike, but maybe a pickerel

I'd guess about a 2 lb slough shark.  aka pike

[grumpymoe]

its obviously from the pike family....i believe they are referred to as pickerel in your neck of the woods......same coloration as walleye...wish we had them here....grump ....aka...snot rocket!!!!

yeah im gonna say chain pickerel because the body appears to have  lines rather than spots.

Definatly a chain pickeral. Not a pike, because of the golden coloration on the side. Nice pick

Yup what Zach said.  I have seen so many pickeral after catching them all year long on saratoga I know what they look like.

pickeral are a pretty fish, under rated as a game fish in my opinion as well

heres a link to distinguish between pike and pickeral http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfwpdf/dfw_esocidsposter.pdf
