Thanks to the Raritan PD for putting this thing together. Based on how this tournament was run, there is no doubt in my mind that it will continue to grow from year to year. And judging from the ear-to-ear grin on Jessica's face, it definitely needs to happen again!

I've got the video of my day posted, feel free to take a look. I got really emotional once I landed that fish, to the point where you guys may be able to use this video to blackmail me.

Attached is a pic of the fish as soon as it came out of the water. I'd love to get everyone's opinion as to whether they feel it was simply a holdover, or if it actually was a sea-run brown trout.

Thumbs up Re: Somerset County TROUT Contest WRAP UP 4/11

Great looking fish Lard. I'm just glad to see fish like that coming out of the main stem of the Raritan river. I think the Brown Trout are most tolerant of higher water temps. Crazy river, you never know what you will catch out of there.
