This is A 5 plus Largemouth caught and released at New Croton Reservoir. It took a Berkeley Black Power worm on a 4/0 wide gap Gammakatsu hook, and a 1/2 ounce bullet weight. caught in about 6-10 feet of water in weeds...

The Pickeral was caught in the same place on the same bait.

Besides BAss and Pick's, there are Carp like torpedo's, and Trout, etc etc... no Northerns... but as Brendon said above... I REALLY THOUGHT it could have been a Northern, it was so friggin big!!!

My friend wanted to take him home, but I refused... ALL Big fish gotta go back in!!!! :^)
