But New Jersey? Unbelievable! Please tell me it's not a hoax.
Congratulations on a fish of a lifetime!

LOL Really, the painters were working on a house and were watching him bring this fish in for like 15 minutes so they came down to the lake. When the fish got close to land they saw it and actually jumped in the lake to grab it and they threw it up on shore. I don't think there is any way possible that he would have gotten that thing on shore any other way with 4 lb test line. It was tired out for sure and they can fight!! Friday 1/23/09 must have been a good day to fish. A 43" Muskie was caught on Lake Hopatcong. You can view it at the Knee Deep site: http://www.kneedeepclub.org/
