20 lber on 4 lb test line

[NJ219bands]

Made a doubleheader today. Caught and released a white perch with a white 1/16 oz twister tail leadhead jig on 2 lb test line in the 68 degree Delaware River in Trenton, NJ, behind Arm and Hammer ballpark this afternoon during thunderstorms. Then caught, tagged and released a striped bass. Saw a lone fisherman downriver and 3 boats on the river. Dirty water was gushing from 3 storm drains. Went to flooded Veterans Park in Hamilton, NJ, this evening in the rain. Threw out a can of corn for chum, then caught nothing with a 1/32 oz twister tail leadhead jig on 2 lb test line and whole kernel canned corn on a #8 gold hook and 4 lb test line. Landed a 20 lb snapping turtle with my homemade corn meal bait on a #14 gold treble hook on 4 lb test line on my last cast of the day after a prolonged, epic battle. Then caught and released 8 bluegills, a pumpkinseed sunfish and a bluegill x pumpkinseed hybrid on the treble hook with no bait.
