The biggest I caught was posted in FastEddie's thread. A few were a bit smaller than that but the rest have been mostly 5 inchers.

I took my 3 yr old son yesterday down to the canal and river where we had an NJ Fishing catfish meet up back in 2012 I think. In the river we got several white perch on spinners (that was a first for me) and on jigs. We went up to the canal and got a few sunfish on worms. The trip was a good sign that my limited time spent fishing over the last few years may increase as he toughed out the chilly conditions with minimal whining.

I noticed that when ever you catch fish the temperature goes up 10 degrees
