That's a really nice fish. Look at the size of the tail on that thing! Must have been a fun fight. Congrats to whoever that is on getting the record.

Nice looking fish, saw a big one there a few years ago very early one summer morning as it chased my dropshot up as I was reeling in. Never got it to come back.

Who cares if somebody decided to keep the new state record of a fish that was stocked by the state? Some people like to eat fish too. Congrats to her!

100% fully agree.

It would be nice if there was a way when a state record was caught that the measurements could be taken at the lake so there's a chance that the fish could be released (maybe tagged so if someone else catches it a week later it wouldn't count) From what I read on the process it pretty much guarantees you have to kill a record to get credit for it.

Then again as far as I know the salmon don't reproduce in any of the new jersey lakes so it's not like that was a massive breeder being taken out of the population.
