I was really wondering how this video was going to play out after you pulled in the anchor and 2 bobbers shit show! I was as excited as you catching that Amazon girl!!! I Googled it and she was in the 5 to almost 6 lb range. Congratulations!!!! 👍👍👍
Oh mannnnn, what a catch! Have you checked out the “Skillful Angler” program for NJ? It’s on the NJ fish and wildlife , that would have been it! My son was on the leader last year for carp, actually thanks to watching your videos and leading us to a spot
Nice fish. It's illegal to target smallmouth beds in my state, so I have to fan cast moving baits and hope for a giant female to decide to abandon her area, rarely happens I mostly end up catching 1-2 pounders during spawn.
That Smallmouth is a beauty. I don't think most anglers in NJ realize the Smallmouth in our rivers. I know the Paulinskill and Museconetcong are loaded.
I guess I should thank Fish & Wildlife for distracting most of the fishermen in this state with 10" stocked trout, so I can have the big smallies to myself.
That's some quality raritan river smallmouth. You pretty much summed up my reaction to every big fish I ever lost. Congrats on getting it to bite again and a giant fish.
I caught so many smallmouths out of that river ! Nice catch there . Was that second spot on duke island park there?? I caught my biggest smallie out of that river myself Congrats.
Conrats on the BIG ONE! Lots of river rocks at location 3. 🙂
Love how you captured in a few minutes of video the full emotional roller coaster that fishing can be. Look forward to your videos every week.
Thanks. That fish was a journey, for sure!
Wow those are some big ol' smallies, great video! Would definitely rate that an epic day!

Some of my best days have started off slow and/or weird. That's why I always stick with it.
That’s a hell of a day for sure.

I do know about Skillful Angler. I never felt the desire to participate.
Can’t wait to see what’s next for you! We look forward to your videos! Hoping to some day catch you in real time ❤️

Maybe try working the deeper water next to the bed. Sometimes the female will be hanging out there while the male guards the nest.
@@FishingWithLardAlmighty I'll give it a go when I hit a local creek on Thursday, thanks 👍.
Sometimes when you haven't caught something in a while, you get blessed with an unexpected catch :)
And sometimes when you haven't caught anything for a really long time, ANY catch is unexpected.
Hey Lard , I run a guide service on the river and always watch your videos and would love to have you on the boat
The name of the company is Reel Raritan Angling Adventures float free of charge I been watching you videos for a long time

tis the season! Congrats on the PB. Good strategy to lurk the warm calm shallows.
Warming water, a few days after the full moon, it makes sense that the fish would be coming up shallow.
Congrats on a slob. Had to be close to 5lbs right ? Well deserved. This is what will always keep us coming back.
Had to be 5. Time to get a 6!

Thanks. I was so lucky that fish decided to bite again!
You were on the SouthBranch, think I passed you by Sunday in the kayak while you were try to catch that same smallie
I hadn't seen that fish yet when you passed by. I guess I was fortunate that you didn't see her first.
Wow , great fish! Love the Raritan river videos.Gonna be hard to top that!
Thanks. The Raritan videos are some of my favorites too.
WOW ! That was a lifetime smallmouth ! Well done !
Thanks. She was a true beast.
Wow nice catch, congratulations, be safe
Thank you very much.
I caught so many smallmouths out of that river ! Nice catch there . Was that second spot on duke island park there?? I caught my biggest smallie out of that river myself Congrats.
I hear tell of even bigger smallies in that river. Maybe there's a 6-pounder with my name on it.
@@FishingWithLardAlmighty There are My friends and I caught nice football smallies out of there . Live crayfish or helgrimites .!
I only did well at the neshanic mill
for trout . A very occasional smallie ! I did really well from 206 Dukes Gardens down past the Bridges.
Nice one!! I lost a 4 lb smallmouth at the 2nd spot you were at.
Yeah, that spot always seems to hold a few good fish.
Was that the area off route 31 south?
Nice smallmouth!!!
Thank you.
Wow beautiful!
Thank you.
Excellent catch
Thank you.
Well done!
Thank you.
