well as Rob said already, it's not even close to over yet! I don't know if anyone remembers my crazy goal but i wanted one skillful angler sized fish of every fw species...i failed that pretty early when i couldn't get a shad quite big enough (got close though, and it was my first time fishing for them). I still wanted to see how many i could get and I really think the goal in the back of my mind helped me have, hands down, my best year fishing! (and it's not even over yet!) I also can't say enough for this site and all the guys that contribute; I definitely wouldn't have done quite as well with out some of you (I hope i've been able to give back some as well). I spent a bit too much time saltwater fishing but here's some of my best from the year so far!

First and foremost, I am very happy that I began participating in njfishing freshwater forum in 2015. This site is a community full of great people and it has been a blast sharing fishing reports, stories, tips etc. I have learned a lot from the fishermen on the site. I look forward to participating in the future!

I didn't end up doing as much saltwater fishing as I usually do, but I had quite a few trips in NJ and Massachusetts and did really well with the stripers and tuna. I was fortunate to be able to fish a wide open topwater bite on striped bass from 18 to 34lbs. The tuna fishing was great as well.







On the freshwater side of things, I spent most of my time on the sweetwater chasing northern pike on the Passaic. My goal for the year was to break the 40" mark. While I didn't meet that mark, I caught a lot of fish from 30-34", and quite a few over 35" with biggest measuring between 37 and 38". I learned a lot about pike fishing on this particular river and the species has become one of my favorites in freshwater.



While I didn't meet my pike goal, I did manage to catch my first musky (from a kayak), and the 25lbs class fish smashed the 40" mark.


In addition to those species, I managed to catch my pb brown trout, lots of smallmouth, pickerel and a few landlocked salmon in Maine, carp and wild brown trout. All in all a good year so far. Looking forward to 2016!

Great lookin fish posted so far!! Wasn't out as much as I would've liked to this year but made time when I could. Also spent the season bank beating due to lack of vehicle with tow hitch but made the best of it. Here's some of my best of 2015.......
