[besen85]

nice fish last year was the first year I have ever gone ice fishig and well I am hooked got me an ice house this year and just waiting for the lakes to freeze over real good

[Godflesh88]

I landed a few this winter, but unfortunately none that size. That is a nice one by the way. (forgot to mention that before)

Is that a trip alarm I hear at the beginning?

[WebguyAngler]

yes

[Godflesh88]

Cheater..... LOL

[WebguyAngler]

I got tired of constantly peaking out the window of my shanty!

[Godflesh88]

Some days thats all I got to do this winter, look out the window and wait. LOL

I did ok this year as a whole though, bass/pickerel/brookies and loads of perch. I usually get some brownies, but none this year because I had tried a different part of the lake as an experiment. (never know till you try)

[Jamu00919]

I caught bass,pickerel,turtle,sunfish,p­erch,trout,catfish,and white perch.

[fiveweight]

That's a nice chain pickerel. No, it's not a pike but they look almost identical except for the markings. Much more impressive than had it been a pike.

[Jamu00919]

The difference between them is the head the pikes is kind of pointed at the end where the pickerels is not

[jonandrewslaw]

chain pattern on sides = chain pickerel

Esox Niger

[Stapesonnash]

thats a northern

[Godflesh88]

No problem Angler.

[Godflesh88]

Pike DO NOT have that black stripe under the eye, ALL pickerel do. That fish has the eye stripe. Pause at 1:11 and you can see it. Its a chain pickerel.

[WebguyAngler]

thanks for your support

[tristancooper1997]

@WebguyAngler lol i wish the pickeral got that big where i live

[ReggieDunlop1960]

That's not a chain pickerel. Wrong markings.  It's a pike.

[WebguyAngler]

I gave up already

[banjohed45]

this musta been close to Halloween cuz that pickrel is disguised as a pike

[minskimia]
