Passaic River Walleye 3/15

[Skunk City]

Got out today after work for a little river fishing. As usual, was targeting the toothy guys tossing lures and drowning shiners. After landing a few Pike, I hooked into something that when it came up, I knew it was no Pike. Got a quick glimpse of a WALLEYE before it spit the hook...ughh. I stayed in the same spot, hoping for some reason this guy was really hungry or was rolling with a few friends.....and I was right. After landing another Pike, I hooked up again with the elusive Walleye AGAIN about 20 minutes later. There was no way I was losing this fish lol. Got him to shore, snapped a few pictures, giggled like a little girl, then quickly released him. Fish was healthy, fought nice and yeah, came out of the PASSAIC! A few of my buddies have landed a couple over the years, but this was my first from the river.
