thegrumpyfisherman Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Caught this while I was looking for pickerel in a small Muskoka Lake yesterday! I've never caught one before, I was drifting a plastic leach across the bottom in 30 feet. Not my thing but I was kind of impressed by the size of it. It was released I hear they are good eating but not really into that. No pickerel found lol Edited September 25, 2014 by thegrumpyfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fish for fun. I eat fish occasionally but don't care for them enough to kill em. Minority opinion around here I know, just personal choice. It was pretty big, I didn't weigh or measure it... It's swim bladder was coming out its mouth so I put it back fast as I pulled it out. Swam straight down so hopefully it's there for the next guy!
