Finally a decent summer pickerel..

Got this beauty friday. I had to walk out almost over my waders to retrieve it 'cause it was so wrapped up in gnarly pads/weeds. No way I was losing it or my lure. A solid 22". Not much action but did land another smaller one, had one shake lose that was well over two feet and another large apparently blind one that vaulted itself(full somersault) clear of the water and somehow completely miss my lure. That was funny. Got a few bass to boot.
