Fished the Passaic River yesterday into dusk throwing a 4” Rapala Firetiger on the 3rd cast felt like a hooked onto a branch, no fight just slowly being reeled in once close to land noticed it wasn’t a branch and the fish started to put up a fight. I noticed it wasn’t a bass or pike like I’m used to when I fish the Passaic. I wound up landing this nice walleye, first time ever catching one and didn’t think these fish were in the Passaic. Are walleye common in the Passaic River? I’ve fished it since I was a kid and have never seen one caught in there.
