I remember when they stocked perch in Gville back in the 80's. Used to catch quite a few around bream beds.

I used to catch a few while crappie fishing Lake Martin every year. I never caught many at one time and rarely any size to them. I've heard they're good to eat but never caught one big enough to warrant keeping.

I stood on the dock at the campground at one of the ALDeer get togethers there, one morning, with an ultralite and a little jig and caught about 575 duzen of 'em.

Chain Pickerel...we call them "Jack". Used to specifically target them now and again way back in the 70's, just for the fight they put up. Caught a ton of 'em, don't reckon I've kept a single one! We used to fish for them in a particular beaver pond and regularly caught them in the 2 1/2 - 3 lb range, usually on spinnerbaits.

In the past, we'd catch a few while drifting for crappie. That is about the biggest one I've seen. Most of the ones we caught were small.

Got a buddy that caught a 2 pounder in N. Ga. Understand there are some good ones in Yates and Thurlow below Martin. One thing, those fish have the sharpest gill plates of any freshwater fish that I know of. They will cut you.

When me and my wife had first started dating I took her to a cove to do some bream fishing. I bet we caught 15 or so of those, threw every one of them back. Ain't caught one since.

Very good eatin! I've just caught a few when bream fishing and never more than 2 or 3 in a single trip.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I've caught a few in Inland. That's a good one.
