The Most Underrated Pike Species: Chain Pickerel

We went musky fishing in Spring and caught chain pickerel instead (and largemouth bass as well.) Johnny catches his personal best chain pickerel (at the time) in this video.

Nice work guys! Love the slap!! The harp music in the beginning through me into a grandmal seizure though😅😅. Thanks guys!

Nice vid! Pickerel are indeed underrated as a sport fish. I target them all the time here in New Brunswick, Canada. I fish mostly top water as I find that the most exciting. We get them just as big here, up to 29"-30". My PB 26". Keep up with the vids. Tight lines!

That’s awesome, thanks man!

Don't let them make fun of your hair!! I understand your trials.

"That place" used to be a gem until the ice tournament douchebags hosted a bunch of ice fishing tournaments and ruined it with over pressure (it's way too small for that crap). It's a shame that it's gone down hill from what it used to be. Looks like you guys had a good time and that's the real reason why we do this. Great video and nice pickerel.... The forgotten step child of the Esox fam.

Thanks man! I wouldn’t know about any of that…

[@chasecoquet6297]

pointless challenges are the shit😂 great video maybe next time the loser should hop in😬

I neeeeed a pickerel

[@Komnenos1234]

I find these guys will bite anything. A lot of the most easy access lakes around Halifax have them.

[@peterlorenzo615]

Biggest one I’ve ever seen

[@jasonelwell8056]

That's was a pike not a pickerel

[@brianmcgowan9044]

Chained pickerel, definitely not a pike

[@brianmcgowan9044]

I’d assume the guy who has a huge musky as his background would know the difference haha

[@edwardborgias]

Thanks for not dissapointing.. always has to be a "that's a Pike, not a Pickerel" comment.
