5-9 Raritan River Fishing

[RiverRat77]

Started fishing late morning into the early afternoon today at Head Gates on the far side in the deep water. I had a nice sized small mouth on that I lost on my net attempt. Must say I was pretty let down as it was a nice sized Bronze Back....
So I continued fishing the deep waters with a lure nothing small was gonna take a swipe at. 25-30 minutes later I got nailed! This fish was a bit larger then the first. Great fight on the light weight, and even better when she started taking drag. I was able to get her close enough to make another net attempt & was able to get her this time. Much to my surprise it was a nice sized Large Mouth! (pictured below)
I fished for maybe another hour without moving had one double follow in of a species I was unable to identify as they were moving so fast & that was all she wrote.
