| Lee Haile III of Towson was catching and releasing chain pickerel with his son and a friend in an unnamed Eastern Shore pond near Salisbury when the line came tight to what turned out to be an eight pounder. "I've been fishing for pickerel for over 38 years, and I just knew this one was exceptional," he said. According to Haile, the fish made a couple of strong 30-foot dashes, circled the boat twice, dodged the net, dove under the boat, and finally came onboard. "When I saw the fish in the boat, I said that we needed to go in because this could be a record fish." Haile weighed the fish at Clyde's Sport Shop in Halethorpe and later obtained a certified weight at Conrad's Crabs & Seafood Market in Parkville. Lockwood met Haile later near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to confirm the species. His new record superseded the previous seven-pound, four-ounce record set by Roy Molick Jr. in 1976. Haile used a light spinning tackle with eight-pound braided running line, a 20-pound monofilament leader, and a minnow/jig combo lure. The current world record is nine pounds, four ounces caught in 1961 in Georgia. - See more and photo at: http://www.thefishingwire.com/story/336348#sthash.2OpCXUQo.dpuf Edited by Larry Ramsell 1/8/2015 8:36 AM Attachments ----------------  2186195.jpg (24KB - 448 downloads) | |||

| lennyg3: Pennsylvania's DNR did every possible Esox cross possible many years ago. I wish I had all the pictures to put on here. Interesting looking fish. Most crosses didn't survive or survival was very, very low. Some weird ones took such as the Amur Pike x Muskie cross and Amur Pike x Norhtern Pike and were stocked in Pa. for awhile. The current WR Amur Pike is from there. Here is a great photo of an Amur Pike by Northern Pike cross that could have established a WR.
