Despite its small size and high population density, New Jersey offers a wide range of fishing opportunities, including the chance to catch \”trophy-size\” fish. Such fish are recognized in the Skillful Angler Recognition (Awards) Program and the State Record Fish Program.
The objective of the Record Fish Program is to increase the awareness of fishing opportunities for species that are regularly sought after and routinely found in the freshwaters or off the coast of New Jersey. Separate lists are maintained for freshwater and marine species, and in 2014 a new Spearfishing category was created for saltwater species.
