They are in both lakes and abundant. I caught one this past summer that weighed 4lbs. He chomped on my DD22..lol. It took me 10 minutes to get my crankbait out of his mouth. He choked it.

I fish for their cousin the northern pike in MI every summer which can eat a pickerel. I fish lake Hawkins from time to time and they are abundant there as well especially late winter they make me miss my Northern Pike.

They love the cold water!

Catching them as a kid was such fun when nothing else was biting!


You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

like gar, they actually are very good to eat, however they are super bony and difficult to clean.


Fillet them out, put them in cheese cloth and boil for a couple of minutes, it softens the small bones and the large ones will fall out of the meat. Little bit of melted butter and enjoy!!! They are awesome grew up in New York eating them that way.
