Up until 2011, I'd never caught a chain pickerel. Well, that all
changed when I discovered a local river that's loaded with them. I
caught many pickerel in 2012, including two trophy fish. I caught them
on buzzbaits, rattletraps, minnow lures, bettlespins, spinnerbaits, and
inline spinners. They're an aggressive fish and very fun to catch, but
have your grips handy to avoid those teeth! Here are a few of my
favorite pickerel photos from 2012 ...

About Me
- Fish Whisperer
- Raleigh, NC
- Born in Richmond, Virginia, grew up in Kernersville, North Carolina, and now reside in Raleigh. I attribute most of my fishing prowess to my father, who took me fishing often as a child. We would regularly do float trips on the James River in Virginia, which is where I learned to love canoeing and river fishing. Unfortunately, my father has passed, but he lives on through my passion for chasing fish from my canoes. I intend to pass this love for fishing and the outdoors onto my children and can't wait to share these experiences with them. I currently have 4 canoes: Customized Old Town Guide 119, Customized Mohawk 16 Royalex, Coleman Scanoe, and 12' Indian River Solo.
