Took a ride over to South Boundbrook falls at lunch today to see if the water was high from the rain. Took a couple casts with a 7 inch rapala on the end of my line. On the 5th cast or so I got slammed, then the fish jumps in the distance. I see it jump and say, WOW, thats a huge pickerel. HAHAHAHAHAHA, not so, get the fish closer to the wall, its a TIGER MUSKY!!! Anyway I then jumped off the wall and into the water to safely land this toothy beauty of a specimen. The little guy measured 32 inches and swam away happily. Now thats an AWESOME lunch break fellas. I love lunch time and I love river fishing. You never know what your gona get fishing huge river systems. TIGHT LINES!!!

Holy crap! Awesome!! Whats the closest body of water that stocks tigers?

Closest to there is, HMMMMMM, I gotta think about that. I think the closest would be Budd Lake. The Tiger Musky stocking program has been terminated in Nj for a couple years already so I really dont have a clue where this Tiger came from. The state really just doesnt tell you everything that us anglers would really like to know. CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dam Eddie hell of a catch a the ladder. Whenever I go there I end up donating $50 worth of lures and leave with nothing. Any Muskie out of the river is an awesome catch!!

Wow. Walleye, shad, monster stripers, and now tigers? The Raritan is really shining this year!

The canal which runs parallel to the river about 50ft away has been stocked with tigers for years. Also the last time I was on the millstone a few weeks ago I was talking to a guy who told me that they recently put a few 30in tigers above and below the falls in manville. Perhaps one of these guys made it down the ladder? Either way, nice fish Eddie! Im planning an early sunday RR trip for esox and walleye so you got me pumped now!!

Thats great news that they stocked them in there. I hope they do well and grow to be monsters. Im pretty sure I have my facts straight but didnt the state terminate the Tiger stocking program a few years ago? That is why all the lakes big or small are getting pure strain Musky these days. Thanx fellas. Go get em. TIGHT LINES!!!
