Tom K,

That is cool. I have caught more Pickerel than I care to remember over the years, but I never saw one marked like that. Thanks for putting up the picture. Definitely unusual.

That's different, the head and eyes say pickerel to me but where is the green? My guess is a chain pickerel with an albino gene - so albino chain pickerel. Cool pic/pick!

Cool a albino pickeral you should tell the fish and game about it!

Maby some one else will catch a albino catfish or some thing!

When I was a kid we used to fish in this dye house soft water intake. We used to call it the Square. It was a concrete square attached on one side to a dye house and the intake was to a brook. It had mutant fish. Some had eyes that buldged out some actually made laughing noises. All were wierd. Maybe I should submit this place to Wierd NJ.

I never ice fished it because in the winter we used it for a hockey rink.

I would definitly send the pic to fish and game or something, maybe it will be some new species and they can name it after you lol

pikemaster789 · « **Reply #11 on:** Feb 18, 2007, 08:58 AM »

how about a cross between a grass pick, and a chain pick?

AJ Flag · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 18, 2007, 10:37 AM »

I can see that, the heads on both of them look very similar.

PIE-BALD Pickeral! 8)

Imagine if it were a full Albino.

Did you have it mounted?

That is definitely a pickerel! I have caught and seen others caught that have the same markings. It must be a genetics thing! I caught one that was about 2lbs in Lake Aeroflex this year that looked just like the one in your picture. Good luck and tight lines.
