Pompton Lake 7/10

[CabesaRoja]

Wanted to try out a new lake today, so I headed over to Pompton Lake with my kayak for a few hours and tried it out. Only managed one 2 lber on a buzzbait. But, someone fishing from the bridge hooked up with a 28.5" Northern and was obviously unable to lift it out of the water to land it, and I certainly didn't want to see that happen because I knew it would be a dead fish if it was manhandled up. I decided to help him out and netted it for him, measured it, gave him a good look at it (he didn't want any pictures), and gave it a proper release. I'm glad I was there and able to save such a nice fish. Good day on the water, and I'm looking forward to returning there in the future.
