never seen one in a lfs but hey im sure somewhere someone is selling them, if not, go somewhere that theyre wild, check the wild life regulations on catching and keeping and see if you need a permit to take it home for display, then get one if you can and bring it home 
lots of work and will cost a arm and a leg if you dont have a source locally i personally wouldnt do anything smaller than a 150 
low temps 70? and a ph of 6ish?

stop talking sht and help him, wth is wrong with you
he's trying to learn about wtf he can do with his tank and nobody gives him a legit response
his texas is still a juvie, he is not overstocked by any means
i dont know much about redfin pickerel, but if you are dead set on getting one, do as much research as you can, and get it small, as it grows keep its water quality good, and when it grows, decide if you really believe it is happy and comfortable in your tank
I don't have one, but there are many people on nanfa.org who do. Tons of good info on keeping pickerel on that site.
they get much larger then 12 inches. Ive seen pikerels more then double that size. That being said they would be a cool fish to have, I've had a Tiger Musky before and they are a trip. Good luck finding a small one
