2020, the year everyone lost their damn mind and i fished more than ever before... started off with the shortest ice season I've ever encountered (yes even shorter than this one we just had haha) followed by a few local trout outings and a carping session with saxmatt.

early in the year, I upgraded the tincan by buying a bigger princecraft and with the help of njsquatch and mikeytopaz, got it ready to fish the crap out of NJ. I promptly named it 'The Essential' so that no government nonsense could stop me from fishing!

Multispecies mayhem ensued throughout the year, with some of the more memorable catches being the first musky on one of my first trips in the new boat at the 'closing bell'; some xl landlocked salmon; night walleyes and hybrids; beefy bass and panfish; pretty much stalked most species NJ has to offer, especially the deep dwelling lakers!

I didn't do as much saltwater fishing as usual, but did take a trip to cape cod late summer to bag a huge bf tuna with my high school buddies! probably the memory that will stand out the most for the year!

Happy new year and i'm going for more of the same in 2021!
