Monster NJ Brown Trout!!! 12/23
 

Holdover, wild, whatever! Doesn't necessarily matter as this fish was just "BIG!" Fish smashed a black jig and fought like a freight train. I couldn't believe my eyes when I finally saw this beast. I'm still in awe as I type this post. You just don't see trout this size caught in NJ streams nowadays! I had no measuring tape on me at the time so I made another notch in the Trout rod with my trusty pocket knife. After the release I went back to the car to get my tape out and get the measurement. This fish was all of 24 inches, 24 3/16 to be exact, LOL!!! After a short revival session the fish was released to be caught again! What a day on the streams!?!?!? TIGHT LINEZ to ALL!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS and GIRLS!!!

Attached is video footage of the release. It is rated "R" for explicit language! Please turn your volume down if the kiddies are in the room!!!:D

Great work Mr Ed. You definitely deserve such a fish after all the work you put in for em.

Thanks for the video, it seems all videos njf guys take involve a lot of cursing. :D I wouldn't say naming the river is a spot burn. Especially that river which has so many different accessible areas.

I'm still expecting a hook jaw tiger trout like last season!!! I know you can pull something like that again.
