Passaic River for pike

A carp fishing buddy, Ant saw the picture of the pike caught by Jay and wanted in on
catching the "water wolf".  We fished a different part of the river this time.

 There were places where I would sink a few inches in the soft muddy river bottom and there were places where he would sink in mud up to his calves.  Ant even had his shoe removed by the suction of the mud.  He is a big guy and out weighs me by one hundred pounds.

We saw cruising smallmouth bass here but the weather was very warm; bass were not feeding.
Later he hooked his first Northern Pike but lost it when he slipped and fell in the mud before
I could take a photo.
