SHUCKER's RARITAN RIVER WALLEYE 3/10
 
Met Shucker on the river today to see if anything was lurking in the high, stained R.R. Started casting big plugs looking for maybe a Tiger, Walleye or whatever else may be in the depths. Shucker is jigging his hand tied arsenal next to the wall and sure enough gets slammed. Fish comes to the top and he yells Walleye. I run down to help him land this fish. After a little battle in the current the Eye comes in easily onto the rocks. A few pics of the fish and back into the MIGHTY RARITAN she went. Fish was somewhere around 24 inches and fat, easily a 5lb fish. Good to see you out there buddy, great catch!!! And so it begins................................:D

Nice fish dude. That place amazes me.

Love the "hand tied arsenal" line, too!

Not for nothing... With all the trout being stocked in the Raritan this Spring that river will be hammered. Won't be long until the meat hunters are walking out with Striper's, Walleye and Trout on the stringer. I know they pay for their licenses too but it was nice when that place was low key. It's going to be an all out zoo down there soon! "Better get there early Eddie". Just my thought's I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Nice fish by the way.

If that's the case, hopefully it leads to more F&G patrols and the poachers gettin' what they deserve!

That wall is going to look like the side of a Friday night Blue fishing party boat. Elbow to butthole.

It was hammered with anglers last year. I'm not worried about it at all. More donations by more anglers = more free lures in my box. Love angler pressure!!! Bring it on!!!

Last year the Raritan wasn't stocked with 24,000 trout either my Brother.
