Thanks guys!

I have seen a few guys fly fishing the river (one from a kayak!), but I'm pretty sure they were going for carp...

Nice fish !!!!!!!!!!!!!When I submitted my 45" 21 pounder for skillful angler award in July I took picture with tape measure and showed picture with scale reading. I submitted it to NJ Fish and game through email in Oxford. Then sent all pics etc..On August 6th 2012. I received a letter from Div of Fish and Wildlife from Trenton, saying congratulations The 45" 21 pound pike submitted in the Skillfull Angler Awards Program has been accepted. Then an award with it saying Skillful Angler Award Winner Nj Fish and Wildlife.And catching and releasing a Northern Pike measuring 45" on July 2, 2012..Talked to a Paul at Oxford said beleives it is the biggest Pike ever caught out of Passaic River....I should of got it mounted..lol..Probably going to have replica made up........Nice fish!!!!!!!!!!

I was in the kayak riding solo, so handling the fish alone was a b*tch. I tried to get a picture of a measurement, but it was just too difficult. I'm sure by looking at the pictures, an educated eye could tell the fish met and exceeded the required 34" mark. I have a buddy who submitted one for a monster Hopatcong Muskie without a tape measure picture, just the measurements, and they gave him the award for it. Just don't know if they'd accept mine with the water droplet on the lens. Guess I won't know unless I try right?

anyone that isnt blind can see that your Pike was pushing 40"/15lb +........

Re: Finally got a beast! Passaic River 9/22...
 

Definitly nice fish just submit all the pics and fill out the forms of pole reel line etc.. Then they will have someone look at it. Like flyboy said you can tell that it is over 34" man that must of been nuts by yourself in a kayak..lol. I think I told you already I caught mine on 6 lb test with no liter he snapped the line when I got it to the bank and my little brother jumped on it..lol..crazy day..
