angler21 So, I'm quite aware of the teeth that pickeral have but decided tonight to push arrogance to the next level. I caught a few nice picks today but the last one was a mere 12 inches. I decided to test out the lip lock technique on this cute little fish and shortly after the lock took place the think decided to shake wildly, resulting in a bloody Angler! I'm seriously still bleeding.....2 hours after the encounter- lesson learned!
