Pickerel are a top fish predator. They are very aggressive
eaters, and will strike at anything that looks tasty. They can range in
size from tiny babies of one or two inches long, to more than 2 feet
long.
The US record Chain Pickerel was caught in Georgia, and weighed 9 pounds, 6 ounces, measuring 31 inches long! Chain Pickerel are smaller cousins of the Northern Pike, or Muskellunge, which grow much bigger! They are larger, however than the Red Pickerel, or the Grass Pickerel.
