I'm not one for saving my photos, so I went back and looked for some. Found a few not many. Did help Rutgers PIT tagging American Shad this year on the Raritan river. Boat NEVER moved this year !! But the canoe was used quite often

What got caught in 2016:

-Started out in spring with a PB bluefish at 13lbs and 36".
-Following that one up with a PB smallmouth bass at 2+lbs 17"+ also early spring.
-Summer was filled with fluke like the one pictured, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and various other miscellaneous fish.
-Highlight of the summer was the 25.5lb 39" Flathead catfish from the Delaware River. Highlight of the year even!
-Then fall brought a handful of cool fish including some brown trout, big fallfish, Blackfish, and finally wrapping things up with some of my first walleye including the 24" one in picture.
It has been an even better year than the last!

Full stringer on opening day(nomehegan/Rahway),a real bass from monksville!, chunky wild brown(peq.)
One of ten brownies from my best wild trout day(peq)-dinner!(wanaque)-monksville double header- went out each cast was a fish. Some pigs and slime dart from my "secret spot"/hometurf - a random fall rainbow(ramapo)and some fish spooge.

Been a great year for me- nothing crazy flashy- just fun.cant wait to see everybody next Thursday

1st tiger, mega walleye--had like 5 or 6 over 27" this yr including a pb, pb hybrid at 25", couple 21" smallies... my daughters 1st yellow perch--14 incher!

There was a LOT more but these are sufficient... helluva year without a doubt.

my most memorable are not always my best. getting out with my oldest doing all kinds of crazy stuff was the highlight of my year. he rarely ever says yes when I ask if he wants to go fishing, but when I ask if he wants to go look for crawdads, worms, eels hes all in!

Look behind it. The fish was full of semen. Got semen on both our waders, my car, the ground the water. He was primed. Hence brazzers lol

And memorable best. Whatever- it's what matters to u
