Nice job man, they are for sure some of the strongest fish that swim. If only they were inclined to hit lures more often I'd target them more haha.

If you dont mind me asking, what baitcaster combo do you use, it looks bad ass in the picture.

Thats actually an Avet SX. I usually use it for stripers, but it works well in this scenario.

What about the rod

[Chrisper4694]

I use a hair rig and never gut hooked one, I think they're too smart to gut hook haha. My biggest issue is ripping the hook through their lip when I try to slow them down headed for a snag...not really sure what to do in that situation.

Thanks! I have actually caught them on tiny jigs and soft plastics, casting to them while they root around in the shallows. In the Passaic, they're usually easy to spot early in the morning.
