Don't know what I like better the sandwich or the catch

Amazing that there are pike in that river.

Yeah the river has cleaned up quite a bit......There are MONSTERS in there over 40"....I've seen them cruising.....and the Smallmouth fishery the Passaic offers is way better than when I  grew up nearby.....On the days I don't go to the reservoirs for bass and walleye, I hit the river which is like 10 min. from where I live...Thanks for your comment....Have a nice weekend!!!

My dad is from Passaic and we used to go visit his parents frequently. It was really dirty the last time we were there which is why it was hard to imagine anything worth catching being in there. He always talked about catching stripers in the river but never mentioned smallies or pike.  Cool fishery to have right near your home!!!!

Nice fish and that sandwich looks delicious
