The Delaware Oscar

[nb6624]

Im always amazed at what i find in the big river. Last week i saw two rainbows over 18", a big musky and giant catfish. The other day i thought i caught an albino sunny or a talpia until further inspection..a friggn Oscar. Someones pet.

Always best to kill the exotics. As for the rainbows, I’ve always been amazed at how far down the Delaware they can be found in summer, but it has to be where cool tributaries or cold ground water seeps enter the big river.

I used the barb point till I stepped up to bigger fish and they bent.Bowfishing was a passion of mine once.Try beacon NY,Camden and the st Lawrence, but you'll need this.

You never know what you might catch. There are monster fish of many species. The Delaware River is an amazing fishery with much of it going unfished. It is a shame people use it to "free" their pets without a clue to the consequence.

So true. We have big: walleye, striped bass, smallmouth, muskies, shad, catfish, brown and rainbow trout, etc. all in the same river. I floated 8 miles last Sunday and we were the only anglers on the river. Plenty of pleasure boats but not fishing boats.

growing up buddy had a huge fresh and saltwater set up. By far the most aggressive fish were the black Oscars. They would eat anything,chop meat, night crawlers and gold fish by the dozens. Their eye sight was amazing, they could see the bag of goldfish from across the room. the more they were fed the bigger they got. It got too expensive to keep them. Sold them to the pet shop owner.

Neat find. Guess you were Blowfishing. Look like a couple good size carp and a catfish you got.
