Brendall, with his nearly 7lb striper. He's never caught a fish this big before, hence the big smile. We saw the gulls waaaayyyyyy off from where we were fishing and hauled ass over to where they were. First cast, I hooked into about a 2.5lb 17-inch striper. Halfway to the boat, Brendall hooked this monster. We caught another about 2 minutes later, then the gulls flew off and the fog rolled in.

Striper fishing is awesome!!!

Dam...That looks like a tasty fish!!

Nice fish.

I've caught a few smaller ones when targeting other species, but never went to a really good striper fishery to find nice ones.

I'd like to try it sometime.

My friend has a REALLY nice boat but he moved away.

I've been thinking about finding a new friend, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.......maybe I need to rethink.

Was hoping for a typo.... stripper 🙂

i fished the "race" (where the ocean meets the long island sound between NY and CT) earlier this year, our smallest striper was 29.5 inches. we caught our limit (8 guys) is 3 hours. great eating.

But instead it was you and your fishy 🙂
