Anybody getting out on the ice?

Yeah, grass pickerel don't get much more than a foot or so like you said. I wasn't after a "big" one either, I just wanted to add the species to my list. My buddy caught three of them that day before I finally caught one just before dark. Was getting pretty nervous. It's about a 3 hour drive over there for me. So I was glad to finally check that one off. And yes it probably takes a special kind of crazy to drive 6 hrs round trip to try and catch a 7 inch fish. I won't tell you how many times I tried before this trip either lol [crazy][laugh]

Chain Pickerel is the last one I need now, then I'll have all the Esocids, or at least all the North American ones anyway...
