I got one for you. Bluegill, pumpkinseed, and green sunfishes all in one day.

Yes Chaos, I could make it a 4-bagger...and Steve is the man. He also knows a thing or two about Hopatcong as well and put me into some nice action this year.

Skunk City, I sent the lake to your PM. Didn't want to post for the world to see. Not a huge secret, but would rather not have it in public.

Awesome! Any chance you'll try to keep the streak alive and try for a tiger musky tomorrow?

Nice job man!!! You mind as well go for the grand slam and target a redfin. But I've been after a redfin for years and can't get one.

Lard, I'm wiped out and will not be venturing far from my house tomorrow. But.....if you must know, I actually tried. We went to the "other" lake at about 2pm. My friend caught a 16-inch tiger musky and I caught a nice chunk bass on the same Spook. We actually saw a few bigger muskies on the surface in an area where I know there's big hump and a massive submerged grass bed, but they wouldn't bite. I wanted to stick it out since I've heard the latter afternoon hours are good for musky, but after getting rained-on for over 2 hours and my back giving-out from sitting on the boat for 9+ hours, we called it a day.

Thanks guys. FE, I definitely would've liked bigger fish, but I'm happy with the results. After I started it, I immediately thought that I should have waited until the fall when the bigger fish are more active. I WILL try this again, maybe in one day, undoubtedly with legal fish and eventually through the ICE!!!!

Gotta do the wild trout slam which is more difficult. Getting the brookie is easy but browns can be pretty tough and not so many places with wild bows in NJ.
