Jackfish (Chain Pickerel) are native fish to Alabama. So, they are not invasive. In fact, several studies have shown bass weights to improve with lakes that have healthy jackfish populations. That is because they eat the smaller bass which allows for more forage for the bigger bass. You probably got a mouthful of bones because you didn't filet it properly. You can't clean them like other fish or else you'll get y-shaped bones. Moreover, they are a subtle, sweet tasting fish. You basically wrecked it doing the blackening technique. They cannot hold up to a lot of seasoning or sauces. A simple fry with a cornmeal breading is about all you need.
Enjoyed the quick video! Never thought about Pike being edible but also enjoyed the primitive way of cooking over a campfire and cast iron! Bet it tastes awesome with some cheddar grits and fresh lime juice! Tight lines!!
Thanks brother! Can’t beat cooking over an open fire!
Love the video brother. I like the different catch n cook on this one. Ive never tried one but i guess im going to have to now.
Yeah, just don't cook it in burnt butter directly on coals! Lol
lol 🙌 let me know what you think!!
Why not 🤦🏻♂️
Chain pickerel Native from Maine to FLA
In the Florida panhandle we call them jack fish and they are native here but I don’t know how far west their native range is because my in-laws in SW Louisiana don’t seem to have when I fish out there. But the easy way to eat them is scale them, gut them and score them deep in a square pattern then fry them whole. That way you don’t have to worry about the Y bone.
Great video buddy!!!
Thanks brother!!
Great video. Pickeral is a native fish where I stay in VA. Not so sure about your area. They taste great! You just gotta remove the Y bones.
We had them all over up north when I lived there, if you keep another one , check out a 5 filet method, makes it completely boneless
Great video !
Thank you!!
👍👍👍👍👍great catch and cook video like that sizzle sound 🍽️😋
Yessir, thanks brother!!
I’ve never heard they were invasive. They are def a pain 😂 Great vid man
they are not invasive, they are found from Florida up to the great lakes and west to Texas.
I’ve heard that from some old timers I guess I never looked into it. They are definitely a nuisance lol
@@southernsalt I'm an old guy thats had lots of time to acquire knowledge of basically worthless things! So here is your fact for today: Brown trout and ALL CARP are invasive species.
Continue to enjoy watching you, lived in S.Alabama 6 years now, have caught a few pickerel while living here, from Maryland there everywhere, I've caught them up to 30" long bigger then supposed to grow, they have pulled my kayak around, your right they are evasive, you have them in a closed body of water they will eat everything then start eating each other, thanks again for the videos, keep it up
Thank you 🙏
Nice content Nate!! In Italy, we eat pike And marinated is one of the best eating fish that you can have
Very nice!!
Well I guess that HOGS and FLOUNDER are coming in the upcoming spring videos? Great job Nate!
lol yessir!
That glide bait looked cool. I’ve caught pickerel before . They are ok. Thanks for 😊💚
I can’t wait to try that bait on the flats this summer. I know it’ll trigger some big bites.
from a survival situation even leather will do.. lol
That’s right lol
Stuffed flounder, wild turkey, and deer sausage! Lol
🙌
Excellent video Brother
Thanks brother!!
Chain Pickerel, not invasive in fact in my part of the coosa river thay have been about wiped out by the bass guys.
You need to scale leave skin on and gash(checker board) towards skin allowing skin to hold it together they are excellent that way
I’ll give that a try
Bro you love yeeting lemons into the yard and beyond 😂
lol I feel like I have to do it 😂
@@southernsalt play on playa!
I grew up in Washington co al . The old timers used to catch and eat them out of the creeks like crazy it was big bragging rights around the area at that time , thanks for bringing back those memories.
Nice!! I went to high school at Washington Co High in Chatom.
Millry wildcats for me , as much as it’s home I couldn’t leave our coastline to go back to many trout n redfish down here for me to leave .
We call them Jacks, and have eaten them a few times. Great video, love the content.
Thanks brother, come to think out I’ve heard some locals call them that
Wow...ranked them below Bass. Well you look like you had a great time...thanks as always for the video
Definitely a good morning!!
Heck yeah! They are pretty decent fried, they do have a "Y" bone that you probably found that is a little tricky to remove.
Yeah I found it lol
Them Y bones are pain in the rear to remove, the 5 piece technique works well
Over here in the FL Panhandle we call the Chain Pickerel by the local name 'Jack Fish. Those you caught were really nice fish compared to most we catch. Surprised you didn't mention anything about bones. We scale them but leave the skin on and cross-hatch the meat about 1/4 inch apart, then fry them or about the same as you did in the skillet with butter or light oil. Some folks actually target them.
I’ll be dang! Yeah there were a ton of bones when I sat down to eat it
I don’t see much reason to use any other lure unless for some reason the Hoodwink wasn’t catching them. It is a consistent lure!
🙌 that’s right lol
Great video, I'd totally sauce it up enough and smash it!! Keep'em coming big man, I can't wait to see more!
🙌 🙌
Pickeral dinners used to be offered alot in Ohio and other northern states. Get the bones out and good eating!
Good deal! I did find a ton of bones in there lol
I'll take the sheepies and flounder. You can have that pickerel!!!
I agree with that lol
Surely tasted better than a skunked day. Maybe Frank's hot sauce would have enhanced. At least you removed a unwanted species.
That’s right!!
I caught em as a kid. But they weren't eatin size.
Right on!! Ton of small ones here as well
what do you think….Pickerel or Hardheaded catfish?
Never tried hard head lol but I’m gonna go ahead and say pickerel 😂
Was that fish fresh or saltwater fish
Fresh
Fish and grits are really really good man. I just had me some grits that we cooked yesterday morning. I love me some grits man. I go to Waffle house just for there grits bowl. Good video brother. Thanks you for sharing it.
Yes sir!! It’s a staple around here!!
He thinks he threw it in woods ?
Huh?
Pickeral are not invasive
They are domestic
Definitely would be better fried.
I agree!
@@southernsalt you’re talking to someone that ate pike in their childhood. Pike are actually part of the walleye family. Yes they have Y bones you need to cut around. Next time try drakes, fry crisp or similar batter. Then you’ve done it right. Don’t make me come down there to prepare a meal for you. 😜
Fine! Make me. Ha ha ha
@@stripermanlyNo they aren't! Walleye are the largest member of the Perch Family.
First of all where do you call chain pickerel invasive and second of all they are one of the tastiest fish if you know what you're doing which seems that you don't!
Probably tast like caigion season and lemon...burned.
I think you meant *CAJUN. And definitely not burned, it’s called blackened and here in the south that is how we cook our fish.
Throw them on the bank for the raccoon.
Exactly.
Y'all don't want those pike in ur waters they will eat every small trout in the waters . They've killed millions of salmon small fish in northern creeks . What da heck were they thinking when theystocked that trash in y'all's waters.
They didn’t stock them I think the just hound their way here from birds or rivers.
I got out there Sunday morning and had some luck! Wasn't much wind early.
Awesome man! This whole week is going to be rough with the wind lol
