14 lber

[NJ219bands]

Went carping in 86 degree Robert G Martin Lake on the north shore this evening before a rain storm ⛈️. Saw 3 fishermen catch nothing on the south shore. Threw out a can of corn 🌽 for chum, then caught and released 5 bluegills, 5 pumpkinseed sunfish and a largemouth bass with an unbaited #14 gold treble hook 🪝 on 2 lb test line. Caught nothing with my homemade corn meal bait. Landed and released 2 brown bullheads, a redeared slider and a 14 lb snapping turtle 🐢 with red worms 🪱 and whole kernel corn 🌽 bait. Used up all of the worms that another fisherman gave me on Saturday. Caught and released 22 turtles 🐢 this year. Quit fishing early when the rain started.
