Lol, would you just look at that GIANT sunfish you should go for a world record.

[apawesomeness]

I find it funny that bass are just oversized sunfish

[Postman]

My buddy and I were bass fishing the other day and he got the biggest bluegill I've ever seen, we thought he hooked a trout originally, it was so fat it would droop over his hand. It was wild

[PurpleBassThumb]

I gotta take you pike fishing sometime up here ;)

[FitnessOutdoors]

Very cool. In NJ, the pickerel have lots of green and yellow 😊

[amason]

Thats why I would get confused when my buddy would tell me he goes pike fishing. And then goes on to show me these giant size fish pics. 😂

[slothandturtle]

That’s the bassiest sunfish I have ever seen

[HxFisher]

Micropterus salmoides is a largemouth bass and a banded sunfish is enneacanthus obesus 👍👍

What happens if my grandpa calls a pickerel walleye?💀💀💀💀

[camronsoulsby]

For some reason only in Saskatchewan people call walleye pikerel. Also thanks for clarifying because I did not know the difference as we only have northern pike where I live

[Tubatimmeh]

Bass are is the same genus as bluegill perch and all that right... right?

[jeremyp]

Great content, Where in Massachusetts are you located, I am in Western Mass. And have some great opportunities here,

[Metal_junk]

Bass really do just look like elongated bluegill if you think about it.

[colesheehan]

Can you recommend good lures for chain pickerel right now?

[ikazukison]

that's like saying an elk is a deer . . . I mean technically an elk is a member of the family Cervidae but if you have a deer tag and you shoot an elk, that excuse is not gonna fly with the game warden

[D-in]

In Ontario we call Walleye, "Pickerel" (it's a misnomer but we just do it), so when he saw that you caught that Chain Pickerel (which aren't that common in Ontario) he confused it for a Northern Pike (which are common). That's all that happened. Don't blame my Canadian brotha

[dominationgd]

It took me like 5 secs to realize the joke. Im pretty sure its because sunfish and bass are both from the perch family.

[User-nkbw]

We used to catch baby northern pikes in Wisconsin and we called then snakes, they might have been pickerel

[braydensfishingandhunting]

A few years ago I thought a pickerel and pike were the same fish

[riverhuntersuk]

The female Northerns get big, the males rearly get over 10lbs, in the UK we call them Jack pike. My PB Pike here in shropsbire uk was a 31lber. Out of local Canal.
