Are You a Skillful Angler?

[Billfish715]

Doesn't anyone on this board catch any qualifying fish in N.J.? Check the 2018 entry board. There appears to be quite a few categories with no entries.

This is the link to the Skillful Angler Awards Program. Take notice of the Freshwater and Saltwater "Slams".

Mikey, Chris et.al. The "challenge is to see who gets the first "SLAM" for 2019! The "slam" species are right in your wheelhouse. Keep us posted.

I made the list a few years back with a seven pound Brooke!

Wonder what a 35 1/2" bluefish weighs? Nearly 3 feet of bluefish? Yikes!

I'm on there twice for 2018, a 30.6 lb cod and a 54.8 lb striper. I could have entered sea bass and blackfish too but didn't bother as they really were not that big. Paul Haertel

It would likely weigh in the teens.,Spring racers are very skinny and weigh far less than those stuffed with bunker in the fall. Paul Haertel

I won 43 NJ Skillful Angler Awards including 5 for last year but all of my fish last year were not long enough for a first place award.
