Pond Run fish 🐠 kill

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing 🎣 in 82.7 degrees Robert G Martin Lake this evening during a nor’easter. Weather was sunny and cool. Two fishermen were there. The lake stopped draining into Pond Run and all of the fish 🐟 died from hypoxia in the first pool below the dam. A large flock of sandpipers was at the lake. Fish 🐠 were jumping. Minnows were near the shore. I threw out canned, whole kernel corn 🌽 for chum, then caught a bluegill with corn 🌽 bait. Hooked a carp that jumped then threw the hook. Landed a largemouth bass and 7 bluegills with a #14 gold hook on 2 lb test line with no bait. Took pictures.
