CRAZY WINTER FISHING!!! ALMOST State Record Pickerel, Broken Rod, & Chunky Bass

Winter fishing SUCCESS!

After getting skunked two days in a row, I broke the streak fishing a reservoir in New Jersey. The water was near freezing, and the fish were finicky, but we managed to coax a few into hitting our baits by matching the hatch and fishing painfully slow…

Big thanks to BFJ for lending me his GoPro footage so I could still show you guys this exciting day of winter fishing 😀
