Those things you call Pickerel might be the biggest PERCH you ever caught. Just a thought no expert by no means but it might start as Muskie, Northern Pike, Walleye, Perch, Blue Gill, Sun Fish (If you lived in southern Ontario) For some reason a bass comes into here.....not sure why. Got an 8 LB'R stuffed and mounted. Duck Lake North of Creston 25 years ago. Sirdar Bar what a blast
