I used to hate the lowly pickerel, then i learned how to fillet them remkving the Y bones... Man what a great tasting fish, ill go as far as to say right there with eyes and perch... I peronally like 24+" fish you get a nice fillet out of them..Ive heard people say they taste awful, and i believe they have never ate them, and that they are just repeating what someone else has told them and so on...
I just don't get you guys. You wouldn't leave bass, pike or walleye on the ice, right? How are pickerel any different or deserving of less respect? 'cause they look different? They are a native fish that evolved a niche in the lake. I guess you feel you have the right to kill them, punt them, throw them, kick them, whatever makes you happy and feel good about yourself. But don't leave them on the ice.
their basicly a unwanted fish that annoy people their not homeless children ......
At this rate, people will be spraying the pickerel down with WD-40 in order to get extra slide when they toss them down the ice.
Good answer ice chipper. Did you learn what a spud bar is yet?
Might just replace curling in the winter Olympics.
see you sportsman next season i am out of here as for the rest i hope you find a hole in the ice big enough to fit in
Just a tid bit here but, Pike love small pickerel, and some of NYs trophy Pike fisheries have Picks in them...
We've kind of created a class system with out actually fully stating it... It's like flashers... MarCum guys at the top, followed by Vex guys, followed by Hummingbird guys, etc .... Uh oh I'm really stirring the pot now
Seriously??Vex on top of course 😜
Vexilars are like pickerel... you should leave them on the ice and go get yourself a MarCum...
