Went to the honey hole today and caught these, what are they ?

[drtybykr]

what would be legal size and if i'm on private property would any size would be legal?

I don't think there is a size limit in Ga.(you may want to check your fishing regs. book) I was just used to the 34 inch minimum from my childhood.

Was there a red mark by the tail?

not on all of them the last pic had red on the bottom underside of tail , and that's not blood at his mouth that is a red dot and streak all 3 pics are different fish

Looks like a jackfish to me. Best eating in fresh water, as long as you know how to gash them.

a friends dad called them jackfish , i just laughed cause i didnt know what that was either

You got a Chain Pickeral. I used to catch them on the hooch above Morgan Falls Dam.

For Musky it is 43in in Pa think they were 34 for pike also

 

[drtybykr]

Nope, Musky is 40in. and pike is 24in in Pa http://www.fish.state.pa.us/fishpub/summary/inland.html

They change too often. The antler restriction just changed on buck again too.

Chain pickerel, Pike and Jack fish are all correct. Nice!

Those are called Chain Pickerel where I come from. They don't get a big as Northern's do.
