Where could I get one of these

No it's not but I do not live by a lake stocked with them the closest body of water is the Rancocas creek and catching one from there would be a challenge

that's sucks I have know experience with pickerel but with a pond that size you could probly add the pickerels first then the pike later when you aqquire one

That's really bad idea! Pike will eat all of the pickerel.

Yeah I'm just going with chain pickerel they get big not as big as a pike can't kill the bass or koi

100% agree with the pickerel over pike stocking. And pickerel are just as aggressive feeders as pike, but you won't have to worry about losing a ton of smaller fish to them as they are so much smaller. Less worries with putting 3-4" fingerling bass or other species in. You get a pike in there and it will eat just about anything new you try to introduce that isn't large.

I fish a shallow fish pond in Harriman, NY, packed with pickerel and a few bass. They're a great species and super active in spring. They're a great addition to any pond large enough to hold them.
