moguy1973 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I know chain pickerel live in the Current River system as we've caught them on the Jack's Fork before. Not sure if they are in the White River system or not. Could be a musky someone brought over from McDaniel's. -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsfolly Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Tough to say with certainty what that fish is. On my phone it looks more like a pickerel or musky. As stated above most chain pickerel are in the eastern side of the state. Grass pickerel are typically 10 to 12 inches and are more widely distributed across the state.

Ryan Miloshewski Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Who knows what gets into where by accident or release by a fisherman. Looks like a small muskie to me. Where I grew up in St. Louis, there was a little lake (really a concrete hole) in St. Ferdinand Park that had a few 5 lb largemouths, 60-80 lb flatheads and blues, and numerous decent crappie. All released by anglers from LOZ and Truman that I guess wanted to see if they'd live or didn't want to clean the fish upon getting home.

Anything that gets into James River upstream though can get in there. Plus you know the whole power plant thing haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
