Quite sure it was a pickrel, might’ve been a pike. I wasn’t there for that one. I know 29" is huge for one though. They are going to try to catch pike on the ice this year too.
yah 29" pickeral would be massive. The biggest I have ever heard of is around 25". They are chain pickeral and look very very identical to northerns.
I have been trying to catch tiger muskies in round lake, not northerns but I have yet to land a good size one. They are in there tho. A local guy that lives on the lake caught a 48" tiger this year…I hope to do that same.
