| I was able to get out and do a little wading today. While not musky these little critters are a good time. 3 caught,1 lost, and 1 follow. It felt good to be fishing in soft water! Attachments ---------------- (0KB - 177 downloads) rsz_img_20140227_165826.jpg (229KB - 178 downloads) | |||

Posts: 246 | muskyrat - 3/1/2014 10:09 AM It`s not a snot rocket. It`s a chain pickerel. Yep, commonly known as a snot rocket in my area due to the slime layer and how fast they are. Edited by zombietrolling 3/1/2014 10:58 AM | ||

| It's a chain pickerel. We dont have northern pike in SW Missouri. They are not slimy like a pike.But they have attitude like a musky though !! Edited by kyle smoker tackle 3/2/2014 12:33 AM | |||

Posts: 455 | I don`t mind them. They are spunkier than pike and fun on Bass gear. You don`t get so many that they get on your nerves like hammer handle pike. Super cool on a flyrod. | ||
