I caught like 5 of these today in pretty thick vegetation off buzz and spinners. I was wondering if it's a northern pike, will bigger ones hang around a lot smaller ones? They're constantly feeding off top water.
Well in parts of Canada that’s a pickerel all day long. It’s a northern pike to me and a pickerel is something else. The common names of many fish widely vary depending on where you’re from.
