2015 goal

[Chrisper4694]

I had this idea just now that i'd make this goal for myself maybe others want to 'play' too. I'm going to try to catch a big fish of every species in NJ freshwater this coming year. I'll use the skillful angler catch and release measurements as the bar for what is considered 'big' so basically i'm going for a c&r skillful angler fish of every freshwater species.

It'll be tough considering i've never even caught any size fish in a few of the species (shad and salmon) and i've never caught a skillful angler sized carp, pike, brook, brown, rainbow or lake trout. All other species i've nailed some big ones over the last couple of years. I also noticed they've removed tiger muskie and bowfin from the list...but i'd like to still catch one of each at least.

I think it's a pretty cool goal, doable, but tough especially since i'll also be saltwater fishing a lot. I'll definitely be using this forum for help and i'll start a post here where i'll list them with pictures as i get them. I'd be pretty happy just by getting close. feel free if anyone wants to join me in the quest!
