That's a monster pickeral that is for sure, I had caught one this spring trolling that was 27 and 1/2 inches. I do not know what it wieghed but it gave a pretty good fight. I was only trolling at that time as my little boat motor had quit pumping water and I wanted to get back to the landing. Here is a pic of some splake a friend and I caught along with my son. As we were only allowed 2 a piece there. The biggest one is a brookie..
