What an awesome video and beautiful fish. Don’t discredit yourself man, we all know that anything over 30lbs in that tide feels like a nuclear submarine! Your chick seems like a great fishing buddy. Really cool that you guys have fun together like that man!
It happens almost every time. I once had two people stand on either side of me close enough that I could touch them with my rod while I was fighting a fish.
i would be willing to bet most aren't locals two weeks ago when I was bringin in a 36 lber i had a guy come down on my right side no more than ten ft from me and was getting ready to cast right over my line we exchanged a few choice words and he left rather quickly
Iv fished near you one morning when you pulled in a nice one on that sp minnow green mac. You catch some serious fish. Think that was you that won the glasses striper cup? You catch some serious side liners. Love watching these videos
Nice job in the releases bro. Too Many People keeping those large fish. Whoever mentions to go on the service road and Chase it down. That's impossible to do at low tide without breaking your leg. If he was wearing korkers he could have climbed up and then Chase it down but he didn't have the right gear on.
it's illegal to keep striped bass over 35 inches and under 28 inches. big fines. 500-1000 to start. if you get caught more than once they'll put you in jail for 30 days. i also know dudes who will beat the hell out of you. i may or may not be one of them. no decent angler keeps striped bass anyway. they are a gamefish and were damn near an apex predator before the sharks and seals came back, and are way too valuable for the fishery. unless you're genuinely hungry, in which case i want you getting a job instead of fishing, don't keep gamefish or striped bass. get a job if you're really hungry. for some context, this fish is female, in her teens, and will lay millions of eggs when she spawns. of all of the striped bass that are born from the chesapeak to the gulf of maine, maybe 1 in a million reach 30#. probably closer to 1 in 10 million who reach 40-50#. striped bass reach 100+ lbs. they've been netted offshore and measured by biologists. we just kill them all before they get that big. a gauntlet of anglers from maryland to maine, and when they get too big to come back to the rivers and live offshore they end up in nets. you cannot keep these fish for so many different reasons. it is not a choice.
Where can I get one of them finger things on your right hand? Oh and your lure too. Looking to make a trip from NC. Needs the right bait. Please share! ✌️😜
any recommendation on where I should go to start tomo AM? Here for Vaca leaving wednesday, 1 chance to get on one of these giants, any help would be appreciated

Epic video. Surprised she swam away so strongly after that long of a fight. Nice job man
I love the guy that comes running down to fish right next to you

Fish Monkey do you ever say anything to em? Sad that people don't even have fisherman's courtesy. How do you like the paraflex now after some time?

I'm not sure what is on his finger, but look up pool glove for shooting pool...I think it would be perfect.

get a bike
Are u using the Van Staal vm150 or 275 reel?
What gear was you using ?
Wined wined wined that pole!
Great fish 👍🏼
Great video! What rod and reel did you use?
10' star paraflex surf and Van Staal VM150
Get up on the service road and run with her. Leave companion there to keep your spot.
I will next time. Lesson learned.
Nice!!!!!
damn this fish took 15 minutes to pull? That is kind of long time. Well congrats there!
Thank you for release , please tighten your drag 👍🏼
It was tight. Too tight, actually. I've bent 2 hooks this month.
too slow
How many pound your line bro ?
40lb
