Wait a minute? You're Snot Rocket.   ;D

We try to avoid the "hammer handles" and focus on "gators"

We call pickerel "weed kings."

Here in SK we refer to them sometimes as:

pike
hammer-handles
gators
slew[I'm not sure how to spell that word  :-\] sharks
jacks
jack fish
water wolf


...ummm  I think that is it...

LOL on the F'n pike thing. kind of like the time a I was pulling in a big Red Snapper and a barracuda flashed by and all i landed was a head...never even felt the barracuda hit it...some people i talk to (non fisherman) ask what a Pike is ...I tell them it the equivalent to afresh water barracuda.

littleoldlady...do you happen to know why they are refered to as slough sharks/ slough snakes? is slough prounounced as sluff or slow?reason i ask...in my profession slough (pronounced sluff) refers  to a wound(on a person) and is in reference to yellow , dead tissue.

Dear SR, It is pronounced "slew"...and a slough is a shallow, weedy lake...pike territory.  Hence the name.
