Raritan River: So Many Bites, One BIG Mistake!

I spent the day fishing at Ken Lockwood Gorge in New Jersey, and it turned out to be my favorite trip of the year. This place is absolutely stunning — winding trails, rushing water, and that peaceful feeling you only get when you’re deep in nature. Just being out there reminded me exactly why I started this channel and why I love fishing so much.

And the fishing? It did not disappoint. I caught two beautiful rainbow trout, a bunch of smallmouth bass, some lively bluegill, and most exciting of all… I finally unlocked a new species: my very first brown trout! Up until now, I’d only ever caught rainbows, so landing that brown was a huge moment for me.

Not everything went perfectly — I lost a rainbow thanks to a slow net grab (still hurts 😅) — but days like this are why I keep casting.
Thanks for watching, and if you’ve ever fished Ken Lockwood or had a moment like this, drop a comment below — I’d love to hear about it.
