Passaic River...CARP?!?

[Mikew36]

Hey Guys,

Took my older brother fishing on Saturday....his first time in YEARS. We hit a little local spot on the PR that i usually go to after work, deeper part of the river in my area. We went out with the idea that we wouldn't really catch anything and we were right for the most part. He switched to worms and just hung out until WHAM, bent rod and drag pulling. After a few minutes on light tackle he pulled in this big guy. Tipped the scales at 8lbs.

Not exactly what we were looking for but my brother's first fish in 2-3 years was a memorable one for sure !
