Passaic River

I have had off from work all week so I figured I would try to hook a pike somewhere for the first time this year. Went to three different spots. The last spot produced. We were using large shiners. My buddy hooked into one first that was close to 30 inches and I hooked into one a little bigger and pretty fat. Unfortunately we were fishing from a elevated area and could not get them up and the line snapped.That's how you know they were decent sized. No picture but it's okay I have caught enough around the 30' mark. It's the 40 inch pike that I need to get a pic of. One day hopefully. These fish barely moved when we hooked them. It was like reeling in dead weight lol. But the first day out was a success! I guess I'll need a net for this spot next time.
