Smalliez biting on the Raritan River

Got my first and second smb of the year.

Caught from raritan river on jigs, one on a pb&j trd and another on a black grub.

Used a gopro but it was aimed too high so screenshots are terrible lol forgive me. :D

Same, but if I were to keep any fish, last choice would be old smallmouth. Not good eating from what I hear, and someone I met on the raritan that kept one at 16 inches said they had to throw it out after discovering it was full of parasites.

Nice pick, im hunting for a big one myself. Only one I ever caught from that river or any of the branches was a 4 incher. They seem to ignore me despite all the success other people have with them. :(

Not really, no reason to keep smallies to eat. Let them live and fight another day !!!
