It's the Passaic's special chemical soup created by mixing the sewage discharge from dozens of water-treatment plants, lawn chemicals from suburban storm run-off, and toxic industrial waste that makes the pike strong.

The biggest reason the Passaic is so productive is that so many businesses that used it as a sewer are gone. The bad reputation always outlives the fact. I really have to wonder how bad that water can be when the river is so enormously productive. Pike of that size are not nearly as common in places of far greater reputation with prices to get there to match.
