Nice fish! I've been wanting to go one more time, but fall work has kept us busy. Tomorrow sounds like it's going to be the last nice day around here, and I'll be stuck in a tractor hauling shirt. Question, were you fishing from shore? Probably not, by the looks of the pictures. All we ever catch are jacks, some day I'd like to pull in a big fat pickerel like the one in your picture.
We were bottom fishing from the boat. My brother in law caught that big walleye on a small minnow. Those big old pickerel are sure fun ,but the sturgeon put up the big fight.
