They are huge, some around 20 inches, lots over 12, and are really good game fish.
Active fighters, strong hitters..Only time I ever catch or see them is late fall /early winter..
Not sure you guys in NJ have them, but if you like fooling around with creek chubs, fish later in the season, and try and catch those big Fallfish along with the small chubs... bob
Creek chubs have that bass-like line while fallfish are shiny like a shad, also yes fallfish do get bigger. Both are actually related in the same scientific family.

I've had a fallfish hit a rapals once. Pic related.



Here's a creek chub to compare.
