But very shortly after there was a big shift in the province and pickerel has lost favor.

I still call them Jack though. That is so ingrained in me that when I do it on video I always have someone commenting from somewhere else on the globe asking, "What is a Jack." As far as I am concerned pike, jack, slough shark, hammer handle, jackfish... same deal.
Indeed. 26.
