MeatEater 1 second ago Well, I'm signing off, but I hope we get the chance for another TH-cam Q&A in the near future! Appreciate you guys and all the questions so much! - Joe C
@@reidmiller2192 bud, he said "appreciate you guys AND all the questions". Gotta get out of your head and stop thinking EVERYONE is out to get you. It's just the government.
I fucking love MeatEater!!!! You guys have caused me to start harvesting my own food and enjoying the outdoors to the fullest. Rinella is my role model!!
Every series MeatEater does is a home run!! The hosts are incredible, the videos are the best you can find anywhere, and the content is always fresh and diverse. Best outdoor series hands down. Thank you!
As one of those Canadians that's fortunate enough to pull in 30 inch Pike all day long, it's really nice to see there's a good healthy population of fish in urban rivers like this.
If you can't eat the fish, the system isn't healthy. Kind of shows just how far our standards have fallen that we are excited about the mere existence of fish in some rivers.
Im from Buffalo so this is the dirt under the fingernails fishing I love. Just subscribed. Thanks. I remember squirmals ( yeah I'm not young) great tying tip.
When we used to live in Edmonton, Alberta my parents used to take us Northern pike fishing/camping at Lac La Biche....some of the best memories of my childhood
@MeatEater I love the videos Joe, especially the not-so-glamorous species and locations. Love it. Why don't these have a few million views? That's effed up.
I like this new one from meat eater, l liked Dos boat too. Still waiting for the next episode of Cal in the field. Good job, if I pop over to the USA I’ll know a few handy spots. Cheers from Australia
I fished this river, the exact same spots! Get skunked most of the time. For lodging may I suggest the Gem Motel, or La Mirage Motor Inn on Rt. 1 in Rahway (they have hourly rates).
I grew up in newark, NJ. I moved to and live in Alaska and never looked back. If theres one thing NJ taught me, is i didnt realize how unfree i was until moved away. Went back to visit once. Got a ticket for driving down a dirt track to go fishing at the musconetcong. I vowed to never step foot there again. I drove my ATV to work today in Alaska. Id be arrested for doing that in NJ Cant i just forget that place. 😂
@@charlesfredrick4789 Of course its subjective. You may be content, but to me, all of NJ sucks. Monmouth county or whatever county. Rules, Restrictions, taxes, laws, massive amounts of people crammed together. To be able to get on an ATV with a gun over my shoulder and drive 20 miles into the woods and fly fish a beautiful alpine mountain creek all to myself sure beats pulling up to a designated parking spot on Manasquan river and pulling ticks off me at the end of the day. Im from that place. I know it. When you leave it, only then do you realize how much personal freedom was missed.
@@cliffisfree100 I couldn't agree with you more, I was trying to say there's no reason to look back once you leave something as depressing as New Jersey. They destroyed all my hunting fishing areas. I left 16 years ago and I'll never look back
I like the concept of B-Side Fishing. The idea of exploring fisheries that are not given enough attention, or fishing opportunities hidden in popular destinations is really fresh, and could only come from the great mind of Joe Cermelle. Soooo… Where are you gonna catch your muskie on the fly? Greetings from Brazil. Love all your work. Wanna see that muskie tho.
This is my neighborhood, lived and worked around this river most of my life and have never fished it due to the pollution. Turns out the sport is worth it. Now I need a partner with a boat, fishing off the shore is a no-go.
Pretty sure you pictured the Arthur Kill. That’s ok most people not from Jersey think it’s all a refinery or city anyway. And nobody, not one person here says joisey. Some of the toughest hunters, anglers and houndsmen are from JERSEY! Come get some.
There might be one or two left in the Tuckaseegee around Bryson City. Maybe in Fontana Lake. I stopped at a gas station between Bryson City and Franklin years ago and there was an absolute monster Tiger Musky hanging on the wall behind the counter. Best of luck.
Weird to stock a river that is so polluted. You'd think they'd address the illness before curing symptoms. In Amsterdam and Rotterdam there's 40" pike and 30" zander in the canals in the city centre.
@@phoult37 I figured that from the video. Rotterdam used to be the largest commercial port in the world and still is one of the largest. With vast areas of petrochemical industry. The estuary used to be seriously polluted. Somehow they cleaned their act up and nowadays it is one of the best spots for European bass and even the native sea run brown trout have returned.
Really cool to see some unchartered waters in such a populated area in this day and age!😁 However...do we need all the swearing?? 🤔 The Gospel of John, when you're ready friend.🔥♥️
One of the best dudes I know! He was recommended for a print story I was doing about 15 years ago. We hit it off and the rest is history. One helluva good guy!
I just came cross this video. Good work. I wonder why people fish on one of the most polluted bodies of water in the country when there are many cleaner places in NJ to fish.
Yes! We already have seasoned 2 shoots lined up outside of Jersey. Part of the reason it kicks off in NJ is just because traveling was so weird and dicey in 2020
@@MeatEaterTV do you plan to still do Jersey vids every once in a while? I live in Sussex County and I'm loving this series, reminds me that it may not be the best, but we do still have stuff here
I don't believe there's a record of that, but I know too much about the history. I have plenty of other places where I can catch all the fish I want for the table. But, as it goes with most sketchy waters, yes, there are many locals that fish it for food. Mostly for the carp and panfish, not as much the pike
Ive caught tons of fish in the passaic, definitely dont want to eat it unkess you have good health insurance and are content with meeting your maker. Stripers run all the way up to the dam in garfield, big catfish, pike, bass, smallmouth, even some bowfin if yiure lucky
This is one of those places u dont eat the fish lmfao hahahahahha and... dont drink the wautur. Plus glad youtube shoved this vid down my throat i ended up liking it after seeing it 36 times

Never heard of you before I got this on youtube, and you are becoming on of my favorites. No bullshit, straight fishing and stories. Great job

Joe C here, at your Q&A service
what happened to hook Shots?
@@henrypavlock8654 I stopped doing it, joined the MeatEater team, and started making B-Side!
Pike can live through anything and damn are they tasty.
@@MeatEaterTV Keep making them, your stuff is awesome. By far one of, if not the best fishing shows out there.
will we ever get a hardcore tackle segment with kerber on b-side?
Every series MeatEater does is a home run!! The hosts are incredible, the videos are the best you can find anywhere, and the content is always fresh and diverse. Best outdoor series hands down. Thank you!
So glad to finally see this episode, which felt inevitable for HS back in the day. Love this new show and can’t wait for new episodes.
Man these Bside fishing ideas were a fire idea!!!
It’s basically just Hook Shots with updates, it’s freaking awesome
Can’t get enough of the B side!!
As one of those Canadians that's fortunate enough to pull in 30 inch Pike all day long, it's really nice to see there's a good healthy population of fish in urban rivers like this.
Wouldn't necessarily call them "healthy"... Its New Jersey after all
If you can't eat the fish, the system isn't healthy. Kind of shows just how far our standards have fallen that we are excited about the mere existence of fish in some rivers.
Dirty water pike fishing is the best, I love it. Theres a creek that runs near me thats half stained orange and pike still thrive in it.
Steve,Joe I’m diggin the B side.
Crushing it with the content, Joe! Keep em coming.
Love these B-side fishing episodes
I like that this show has its own flavor.
I LOVE the Passaic! For all the reasons you mentioned. Grimy, not heavily trafficked and always a new challenge or curveball.
Really enjoying the b side vids. I'm from southeast Pa and do lots of fly fishing.

Saskatchewan peanuts lol, love it!
Never thought I'd log onto the Meateater channel and watch an episode about New Jersey, let alone about my own backyard neighborhood
sameeeeee I always figured jersey was only good for black bear up north by NY and thats it.
This show is utterly fantastic. Every show you guys make is spot on my demo. Good work.

I am loving the B sides
Loved this episode about urban fishing! Really brought me back to childhood memories of catching trophy sunfish in a drainage ditch 😆
Joe c and joe d damn this is good
Fly fishing for pike is so amazing. I used to do that alot here Tull they started taking them out of the river.
Great episode!! hahaha... "peanut for Saskatchewan"... we are pretty lucky here in Saskatchewan when it come to Pike fishing for sure!
The B side is my new favorite🙌🏼

How come I can’t hit the like button more than once ? This is a great fishing video
That’s what the comments are for!
WOOHOOO B-Side fishing!!! LOVE IT!
just when I thought it would never get better than hook shots, the B-side comes along
Another awesome video 🤘🏻
"good things tend to happen after lunch" is so true, cought my PB smallie right after a ham and cheese sandwich
What beautiful scenery
Love these fishing videos keep them up
Pescatore leggendario? Italian vibes here !
Nah nah nah man a pouch with some condiments in it is a lifesaver for those dry ass sammiches
Key to non soggy sandwhich- spicy mustard spread between the layers of meat.
Another great episode! Sure am finding some good honey holes in my homestate and very close to me after watching this show 😂

I like this guy!!

Thankyou love it please keep it up
ive been fishing the passaic for years. finally went for pike on the fly this year and got a few.
Nice little river surrounded by NJ...
Mmhmm the good ol Passaic, pike and hepatitis for everyone!
Its so nice to watch these videos with my 5 and 7 year olds and then the swearing starts. . . Top brow guys thanks. . .
If only they made their content with your requirements in mind....
Why does every Karen ass parent think all content should be geared for their little
brats? Entitled snowflakes
Have Steven take you to Fletcher's in his home state if you want good northerns.
I live in Indiana and fly fishing isn't thought of much around here but I've always wanted to try my hand at it
Pretty sure you pictured the Arthur Kill. That’s ok most people not from Jersey think it’s all a refinery or city anyway. And nobody, not one person here says joisey.
Some of the toughest hunters, anglers and houndsmen are from JERSEY! Come get some.
Love meat eater. From Italy
NEW JERSEY FOREVERRRR
NEWARK!?!? NEW JERSEY!!!??? NO WAYYYYYYYY!!!!
I missed the Q&A by hours.... More Eric interludes damnit!!!
I’m ready for a Joe C mousing for brown trout video on meat eater I hope it’s in the lineup
I’ve grew up minutes from there, never knew it was so good! When can you take some local subs out fishing the Passaic River?
Loving this shit!
You should check up the Vision pike fly collection, and their rods.
Come to North Carolina and see if you can get a musky ..
in North Carolina.
There might be one or two left in the Tuckaseegee around Bryson City. Maybe in Fontana Lake. I stopped at a gas station between Bryson City and Franklin years ago and there was an absolute monster Tiger Musky hanging on the wall behind the counter. Best of luck.
Joe makes me hate NJ less
Just a little.
Funny thing is we don’t give a shit lol
I am so glad the Joe is putting out videos again! Keep up the great work and don't put any mayo or dressing on your subs---soggy subs are for rookies!
Hi im from Germany i love you Videos 👍
Pike on the Flyyyyyyyyyy

The biggest pike ive caught out of the passaic are much further down river. And the area has easy access.
where?

Have you ever thought about putting condiments between the meat?
