Don't forget, if you catch a big one, you get extra credit from the State of New Jersey for it. :D

Pretty cool program. Gives you something to base your catches on.

I applied for and received 5 in 2012. They'll eventually be framed and hung on my Man Wall :cool: .

You get women? I didn't know that! I caught a few dozen fish that would qualify in the past year, I gotta start registering them!

Had a five pound rainbow this past year that would have qualified but didn't enter it either! Be nice to get a little recognition but ain't that big of a deal. Got a few pics and that was good enough for me......I'd rather get recongition from the guy's on the site!!!!LOL

I have 4 framed - 3 LMB(21",22" and 24" respectively) and one pickerel(26"). Also have awards for same from Pa's Angler Award Program.

One new caveat for this year is that a ruler/yardstick MUST be in the photo with the fish for C&R entries. Not just in the photo, but placed along side the fish for accurate size measurement :rolleyes: So much for the honor system. You think they were handing out cash for big fish. Also they encourage C&R yet they are pretty much making you mishandle the fish by laying it flat on the ground and placing a ruler along it. Fish generally do not lie still and u could be standing there for over a minute. That's a death sentence for most fish. No thanks.
