Can anyone confirm my guess? I am almost positive this is a redfin pickerel. Appreciate any comments, thanks.

Definitely a redfin

To quote Ed NcMahon, " You are correct!" That is actually a good sized red fin from what I can see. They don't get very big. Nice catch and good job getting your lure back.

Awesome, I hear they are a rare catch.

Thats what I have heard. Scratch that one off the list now!

NJ State Record is only 1 lb 13 oz. If you catch it again next year, you will have the new record.

Awesome catch, that's a cool one to have on your species list! And do I see the almighty Trout Magnet in his mouth?? The TM catches everything!!! :D

Yes, trout magnet is like freshwater crack. I actually caught one on a crappie magnet about 30 minutes earlier and when I was lifting the fish out of the water it fell off the crappie magnet landed right in front me. I bent over to pick it up and it slipped out of my hand and straight back into the water. So I went to the TM and pitched in the same area till I got his ass again. Needed the pics for proof!
