This video is a serious YT GEM

Absolutely amazing video

This is awesome guys! Hope your still chasing these incredible fish and fighting for their conservation.

Solid work dudes👊💪

I'm 44, and I'm looking forward to this coming striper season as it will be my first on the fly, But I've been a catch an release fisherman and fly fisherman my entire life!!! 💯

what rod do you prefer for your fishing for Stripers

Great fish. What do you think the odds are it survived after you played with it for so long?

Amazing video ! We have the same passion for catching Striper

I never ever heard of a crash. For any bass species. Here in Bloomington/ normal of Illinois large mouth and even smallmouth can be hard to catch on the fly. But Ponds around here are tough but the creeks and rivers are better here in my opinion

What weight fly rod yall running? And what pound leader/tippet?

So sick. Dreaming of spring

We need more vids like this!

love this!! so well done!!

i don't know if you saw but an osprey dove and got a fish at 5:20 in the background by his face

Love the edit 🎣

Nice fishing video. Thanks

shortstix all over the place! Love it!

Fishing just to release the catch is a bit ridiculous IMO. The fish is going to die anyway, as it's just a matter of when and how. (Same is true of us humans.) Striped Bass' conservation status is currently "least concern". It's not a threatened or endangered species. The laws of the State of New York do not allow taking stripers unless they are at least 28" but not greater than 35". This is known as a "keeper" or a "slot striper." And the daily bag limit is one fish. I say if you do catch a "keeper", take it home and eat it. It's a good source of high quality protein. (This opinion does not apply to fish caught in the waters adjacent to New York City such as the East River!) Incidentally, the resurgence of the striped bass population has put tremendous pressure of the stock of baitfish that it feeds off. The striped bass is, after all, a predator, like most saltwater fish.

I fish stripers both commercially , and recreational in MA. The fishing is definitely off a bit compared to late 90's- early 2000. The past few years have improved a bit for the large bass, and schoolies can be had on the fly on any given day from just about any shoreline or beach in my area. The biggest change I see in the fishery is more people. One could certainly argue that the increased effort in the recreational fishery is a direct result of the internet. So many videos, forums, fish reports, youtube how-tos.etc. No denying that catch and release kills lots of fish. Places where I used to be able to fish a tide without another person in sight are now shoulder to shoulder fishing holes. I understand that fly fishing is very easy on the fish, but the majority of people are using bait/plugs/trebbles. Massive amounts of bass are taken illegally for eating all season long. I care as much as anyone about the health of the stocks, but I just don't see GAMEFISH only as changing a dam thing. Increased law enforcement(never going to happen), and Stripers Forever fighting for 100% observer coverage on midwater trawlers starting about twenty years ago would have/will make a difference. Give a man a fish and he can eat for a day...Teach everyone to fish and there won't be any left....

I've watched this over 2 dozen times in the last week... This is some of the most exciting and amazing film work on stripers out there! Well done!! 🤙🔥

What a legendary intro the opening scene where you start seeing only water and distinctively hear flyline slicing air and zooming past gaining distance all the while you see a fish break the surface after a strike just amazing wish them luck and strenght to continue this rare motivation rarely seen in today's youth such a good documentary

Visionary

Keep coming back to this...

Epic video guys, can’t say enough about that take you guys captured with the drone. Looking forward to my first season chasing these fish on the fly.

That drone shot of the take was epic!

Bravo to you guys! Respect. Don't know what was better, the videography or the fishing.

Only allowed 1 like...I give it a 1000, great work dudes. Seen lots of "striper bite" stuff but this shakes em all outa town.

do Not WAIT for the fish to hit the teaser popper, or it will turn away and go deep, but cast near or with the teaser as its retrieved , then youL get more hits

Very cool project! My oldest son 11 years old is named Thomas Fremd his largest is about a 12# CNR striper on our local Sacramento and Feather Rivers. His little brother at 9 years old is at 14# CNR. I can’t wait for them to be able to fly fish. I am investigating how to tie 10” streamers and go after the big ones. 👍🎣 Our season for the schoolies is just about ready to start. 👍🎣

people complain about low numbers but remember we are taking there food source away from them through commercial fishing making them a game fish will not bring back the numbers

Great to see young people getting into the sport. Love the passion!

That's a monster. good video good footage

STRIPER forever ....... its never the catch for me it the safe release that get me going ... people always ask me why did you let him go he was pleanty big enought to keep as i let out a big YEE YEE smiling as i let her swim off ... Yea but now i know theres fish in here for the next time i come out .... catch and RELEASE its not an actiin its a MOVEMENT

Gr8 video. Subbed

Awesome video, awesome view on these fish. Awesome footage!

now take the boat away and limit it to the surf...

Awesome video fellas

Nicely done fellas!! Big up yer chests for this one!! Monster stripers aren't easy on the fly but it's probably the most satisfying and fun thing to do with yer clothes on 👍. Good job!! Jesus loves fly fishermen the most 🙃🙃

you should have way more subs

Wow guys! Epic film! Can't say enough about it!

awesome video? go to rod ??

Great film gentlemen! Whatever it is, you all get it 👍

Worth saving so we could torture it for sport, same logic as Predator saving Alien mum.

Great job guys! Way to be ambassadors of the sport and draw attention to conservation

Fly Rodding for Life! Stripers are relativly easy try weakfish from shore aka sea trout.

Very cool video ! Thank you for sharing

What rod and reel combo were you using?

Whens the next documentary coming up? C'mon boys, you can't just leave it at that. This project is so important and what yall did with the video was amazing. Keep up the good work.

Cool video besides the push for releasing all the bass. Strippers may be a game fish but they make excellent table fair. Now maybe a push towards the commercial fisheries I would understand but the recreational guys are not the biggest issue... Just saying.

Good job
