5 Lb 2 oz bass caught and released from Manasquan Reservoir

You might say I started fishing at a very early age.  So early, in fact, I wasn't even old enough to stand on my own two feet! Dad used to tell me he that he held me in one hand and a trout rod in other as he plied the Musconetcong River for springtime trout.  Thirty six years later I'm still probing those same rivers and bays every chance I get.
 
Speaking of dad, one of the many lessons he taught me was that fish are too valuable to be caught only once, and letting a big lunker go affords somebody else the joy  and excitement of catching him.  As a result I fish with barbless hooks, don't use treble hooks, and release every fish I catch.
 
Currently,  my involvement in fishing includes regularly contributing articles to various publications and I'm a Field Editor for The New Jersey Angler Magazine.  I also teach nighttime fishing classes at Brookdale College, Middlesex Community College and Ocean Twp Recreation.
 
Hope to see you in the classroom or on the water!
