This past spring while trout fishing in the D&R feeder canal in West Trenton I noticed a large wake moving upstream along the bank towards me. It looked like an alligator's wake from a distance, and I was trying to figure out what it was. I didn't take long to find out though as it swam right by me and I was shocked to see it was a huge Musky! All I had was a UL trout rod with 4# test with a night crawler, I tossed it at him just to see what he would do and he made a move for it but missed, then he kept on going upstream under the bridge. I'd guess he was at lest 4 feet long maybe bigger hard to tell because it happen so quick. I'd heard stories about huge Muskies in there feeding on the stocked trout but this was the first time I ever saw one up close and personal. I know one thing, if you hooked into one of these in the canal you better have heavy line and a stoat pole! I've caught some large carp in there that without help I would never have been able to pull out because of the steepness of the banks. Good luck in your search.
