I'm one of those old farts that have been here since pretty much the beginning. I learned a LOT from you guys, and made some pretty good friends along the way.
And the memories!
-Hefty garbage bags
-the "shine box"
-Rammfish hooking a 24' Grady-
-First NJF tuna trip- "HE'S GONNA SPOOL ME!" (I still haven't lived that one down...)
- Another tuna trip- "Look, that swordfish has a lightstick in it's mouth..."
-Big Al's Striper Cakes recipe

20 years. Where did it go?

Gerry,

You made it a legitimate resource in NJ Fishing Community. GREAT JOB in persevering along with bearing all the collateral BS that goes on from time to time.

Re: NJFishing.com Celebrates 20 Years!!!
 

I stumbled upon this site back in 2010. Registered immediately and never looked back. Almost exactly 7 yrs ago since signing up and I'm more than happy to say I've made a bunch of life long friends and "fishing buddies" through NJF. I honestly talk to a few of my NJF-based friends more than my long time lifelong friends because of one critical element: the commonality of being hungry, driven fisherman.

My fishing experience and skill level has grown by leaps and bounds. I've exponentially broadened my freshwater fishing horizons from just bass fishing to damn near every other freshwater resource we have in our great little state. I even learned how to ice fish which is something that never crossed my mind when I signed up here.

Great groups of fisherman, great get togethers, great holiday parties and most of all just a damn good, informative fishing website. Cheers to Gerry for building something great!

And great post FE!

Gerry congrats on the first 20 years. NJfishing is actually responsible for my marriage. Back in 2005 my now wife found me through post on the original forum. We were high school sweethearts and had broken up in 92. She was able to get my email address thanks to some post i had made. And we got back together in April of 05 and have now been married for 10 years and have two beautiful daughters.
All thanks to NJFISHING
