Passaic River Pike

[catfishonthelake]

I hit a spot on the Passaic this morning that I scouted out a couple months ago. The last time I was there, the river was really high and unfishable, but today, despite being a little stained, it was perfect. I walked up the shoreline alternating between a jointed firetiger Bomber Long-A and a chartreuse/white Booyah spinnerbait. I finally had something smack the Bomber at the surface and the next cast he bit it clean off. I figured the fish had a mouthful of trebles and wouldn't bite again but the first cast with the Booyah and he nailed it!!! My blood was pumping and I would have loved to have stayed all day, but I got stuff to do.
