Married a Floridian lady 20 years ago, she didn't have a clue what Hydro was or Kraft Dinner ? it's Kraft Macaroni and Cheese down there, only called Kraft Dinner in Canada, oh ! and dew worms are nightcrawlers to her.

They haven't been educated yet, neither are the stores selling pickeral, I'm sure they're not commercially harvested. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunkerbasshunter Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 If you call them walleye up in my inlaws area of North East Ontario they look at you like your some strange alien. They call them pickeral up there always have and always will. If you call them pickeral down south in the great lakes regions or in the USA you get the same look. I call them by both depending on where I am and who I am talking to makes it easy to avoid the whole debate. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
