Thumbs up Congrats Lard !

I have to congratulate Lard on a catch well done. You could probably count on one hand those who have caught a walleye out of the Raritan river pushing 30 inches. Amazing in the fact the river was cresting at 2000+CFS !!! Talk about a skillful angler, but no mention from the humble man. No bump board, no contest, no tournament, for those of us on social media we are bombarded with those almost on a daily basis. Impressive in the fact the Raritan river receives ZERO walleye stocking while places like lake Hopatcong and the Delaware river are heavily stocked. I was equally impressed with the video showing some "life" on the Raritan river. I remember turning over rocks on the banks of the North branch long ago and finding hellgrammites, I also remember the tackle store on the Delaware river called Wag's selling them in layers of wet burlap. Keep up the great work my humble man, love the videos as always, Andy !

I'm not a skillful angler; I'm a determined angler (and sometimes a lucky angler). No point in taking credit when the fish just decide to cooperate.

You're too humble. You clock hours. Put in the time. Enjoy the struggles and get exhilarated by the rewards of trophies year in and year out. Thats what it's all about.

Ive been watching your vids since you started your channel. You've amassed some unquestionable trophies. That was a gorgeous walleye. She was well fed, big eyed and thick bodied... my kinda swimming lady hahaha...

Kudos bud. They're unicorns when they're that size!

that is a very nice fish.. those do not get caught that size to often no matter what body of water you fish, congrats you got a great fish from water that is not stocked that is impressive. even if you don't think that you are a skillful angler the fish do have to cooperate to get things going but it is called fishing not catching and you got a dandy right there
