These fish/ wild animals do what THEY want to do, NOT what we humans "expect" them to do.. I have no reason to doubt the OP ..

Many years ago I saw a pitch black Mountain Lion right on my property here in NY state, despite the NYS DEC saying they don't exist here. however they ARE spotted on occasion here in the Southern Tier even photographed, despite what the "experts" say... So a Paddlefish in the raritan??.. Just as likely as a Mountain Lion in NY state I suppose ......bob
Well in that case about where paddlefish are stocked, i dont see a route where one could swim from those stocking points to the delaware.
Maybe someone stocked their own paddlefish into the raritan for the hell of it

Those mountain lion reports are neat too.
