Well, I thought I had a great day yesterday so I told my buddie who can use a nice pike on his line & he was game for today. Waited till he actualy lost a fish to throw mine so he had better of a chance. But I wasn't goin be just watchin him. So, threw my lure bout 15-20 times n hooked her. She felt big right off the bat with my strong ass pole bent like me on new years. About a 10-15 minute fight n my buddy A helped with a no crash landing. It felt great!! I'm sure its my pb, it wieghed about 22-23 lbs I'd say without a scale. I'm on ur tail J.V.. TIGHT LINEZ FELLAZ!!!

Wow! That is awesome. I have been fishing the P forever and haven't caught one close to that; its every bit of of 25+ all fat with eggs and ready for the Feb spawn that never happens

Re: the spawning comment... Nature always finds a way. Pretty sure they're procreating in the river. Pickerel-pike hybrids are caught in that river which indicates some form of successful breeding. I think the State is still looking for evidence, however. Mark B. would know more about it though.

Back to the beast... I keep looking at it and saying "holy sh*t!"

thats a pig, def the fattest Ive seen come out of NJ. this is the perfect time of the year for pigs, they are still eating well and wont thin up by using their fat til after the new year. that fish is super thick, lots of suckers, carp, and panfish inhaled thru that mouth for sure........good job
