I've fished there a few times before though not for Pike. Would love to know the details of the catch.

The state record Black Crappie also came out of Pompton Lake.

Was that because you couldn't legally fish Monksville when the fish was caught?

Your getting closer.. It came out of a private lake in Wayne... No private lakes can enter the books to my belief... OR he wasn't allowed to fish the lake and got nervous. The fish was taken from Pines Lake in Wayne. Submitted as being caught in Pompton Lake but pictures were taken at Monksville.

 

[beezer]

That's cool!

BTW I've been thrown out of Pines Lake many, many times.

And Point View Reservoir too.

State record fish can come out of private lakes. My Mom grew up on Pines Lake and my grandparents lived lakefront until their deaths in the late 80s. Great fishing in that lake!!!

No place in the rules does it say that a fish cant come from a private lake.
