It broke my hook and flopped back into the water before I could get a weight but I’m guessing around 5lbs.

Got to spend my day off in the Delaware River and had an amazing day of fishing! I managed to land 2 snakeheads, 7 striped bass, 1 channel catfish, and 2 smallmouth bass. The second snakehead of the day bit my frog, which is my first fish on a frog in 2026!
