One Friday night in March I landed the biggest walleye I'll likely catch in NJ forever, I unfortunately didnt have a tape other than marking it on my rod and measuring that later. But I convinced myself to bring one tomorrow. I fortunately came across a 28 inch walleye the next morning and got that taped and on the SA board lol.

I would post a 2 paragraph story about the big fight with that walleye but other than the current pushing it down and some headshakes thats about all the walleye gave me lol.

I got onto some striper hunts too (thanks eddie and nick), and have been doing still OK with the PA brown trout until yesterday when I had a great day with a 20 inch Brown trout and a bunch of upper-teens.

Some impressive catches for sure! That walleye is awesome . With all the fishing we both do in the Raritan I'm surprised I haven't run into you!

When big stripers from shore isn’t the main attraction, you know it’s an awesome post. Congrats

You've caught a whole season's worth of big fish, and April isn't even over yet. What will you do for an encore?
