BP, that's what I'm aiming for, too.

Already checked off the monster pike for the year And my toad LMB... The ice was nice to me this year!

I'd like to add my first laker and walleye to my fish bucket list. Seems feasible... 5 lb smallie wouldn't be a bad goal either.

I'm looking for that muskie and night time bender on the banks of the Big D hunting one of those monster cats!

I also want the biggest smallie out of all you hooligans!

I recently moved within a half mile of the Raritan River, so most of my goals are involving the river and surrounding canals. I really just want to learn and fish the waters that I can walk to / drive to in just a few minutes.

1. 20" Smallie
2. Raritan River Walleye
3. Raritan River striper (not caught at the ladder)
4. Spend at least 50 mornings on the river this year...

One absolute goal is to catch one of those 30+ inch pike from my kayak this summer. Saw quiet a few come through the ice this winter, just not on my line.

No lofty ones for me.
1 catch pike
2 improve personal bests for largemouth, pickerel, and pike
3 catch trout
4 catch something from the Raritan
5 catch smallmouth

Didn't catch a pike all last year trying several times in places they're stocked. Have never pulled a trout out of a river but have only tried maybe a dozen times. Have yet to catch anything from the Raritan, main stream or either branches.
