Are We The Problem? Winter Flounder, Ethics & “The Glory Days” w/ Russell Bethon Sr. | NJMSP #124

Old photos, big feelings. Joe & Chris sit down with Russell Bethon Sr. (Raritan Bay Anglers) to unpack whether yesterday’s norms—deck shots of winter flounder, liberal creel limits—caused today’s slowdowns, or if the real culprits are climate, predators, bunker, and pollution. Plus: Salmon River went nuclear, Rhode Island tog lessons (when to ditch the jig), “invasive” triggers & blowfish, and Russ’s unforgettable Alaska halibut. Next week: Nurse Jackie from the Salmon River.Mentions: Yellow Dog Paddle, NJFishing.com, Eight Ball Sportfishing, Ripping Lips Fishing Trips, Nor’Easter Hardcore Apparel, Double Eagle Lodge.CTA: Follow the show, rate us ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and tell us where you draw your keep-or-release line.
