Raritan river striped bass 6/2/16

[AndyS]

Fished with Mike Danko from the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium this morning 6/2/16. I think we just about filled the quota for the amount of fish he needs to be taken back to the lab for testing. It wasn't lights out fishing but it was pretty steady. We released quite a few fish that were too big for the study, fish over 12" long. Mike also caught a real nice smallmouth bass and a big white perch.
Kids, don't try this at home, Mike has all the permits necessary for research.
Tests are taking place on a few other rivers in NJ also like Nevesink.

Feel free to look up the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium.

(Yes I felt queasy killing small striped bass)
