    Good fight story on this one! Possibly one of the hardest fights I've had in a long time! The picture doesn't do this fish justice. It was missing a good ...more chunk of it's tail, was still 34" and thick as a log! When i set the hook it started peeling drag way harder than i usually expect...I knew i had to better my shore position or I was going to lose this fight in the trees. As i re-positioned the fish made another run and literally pulled me into a mud slick knocking me on my butt and sliding towards the river in the mud. Only thing that stopped me was my foot getting wedged in a tree root. So i continued the fight with my ankle jammed in a root tangle...the fish wrapped me around a subsurface tree anyway and i thought it was over....but i saw the fish by the tree...didn't know if he was still hooked or free and in shock. so i kept the line tight and with my other hand grabbed a rock and threw it to try to scare the fish out the other way; it didn't move. so i pop the line quick and it takes off out of the tree snag! I finish the fight and land the fish as it took a big scoop of polluted river water and blasted me right in the mouth and eyes...good times! Valiant effort Mr. Pike, but it's time to say cheese!

    4. Robert Coleman 0
      Chris, you're up 1-0 on Mr. Pike. I think you should quit while you're ahead. Gator might take the win. But if you do it, are you selling tickets? ...more Lol

    The carp didn't want to bite my hooks so I had to get them the old fashion way.

      That's cool! Some big carp there for sure!
    7. Arthur Huttemeyer Sr. 0
      The state of NJ fish and wildlife put pike in the river to try and get the carp under control but they are still over populated. I go out now and then to sharpen ...more my stalking skills and rid the river of giant carp which lay thousands of eggs. These were both big females 13 and 14 pounds each.
    8. Christopher Pereira 0
      No, they don't need to be new.

      awesome!! I hate to run into you in a dark alley haha
    10. Arthur Huttemeyer Sr. 0
