'BETWEEN THE LINES' FULL FILM | Fly Fishing for HUGE Striped Bass

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2024
- Thomas Barzilay Freund, Michael Kamsky, and Faulkner Wilson are the people behind the film Between the Lines. Over the years, these three childhood friends from New York City have fished together and documented their adventures on film. Although they’ve had the opportunity to explore many different fisheries together, they feel a deep connection to the striped bass of the Long Island Sound which they have relentlessly pursued over the years. They began fishing for stripers together in high school.
For the final months of their senior year at the Dalton School, the students were given the chance to work on an independent project of their choosing. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to do something on a topic they cared deeply about. The three decided to make a film about fly fishing for striped bass, with a focus on portraying stripers as the gamefish they believe them to be, and advocating for catch-and-release practices among recreational anglers.
Between the Lines is about their quest for large, fly-catchable striped bass in their home waters. The entire film was shot during the spring and summer of 2016 in Connecticut’s coastal rivers and along the rocky shorelines of the Long Island Sound.
We hope you enjoy the film; please let us know your thoughts below!

That drone shot of the fly getting eaten is SICK. Dope swim-with release too. Solid video guys. Keep it up
I've been a catch, photo and release striped bass fisherman my whole life. I've seen the fishing getting worse for many years now. Gamefish status would be epic! Great job guys!
Best striper fly fishing documentary I've watched, and I love the motivation in young kids like us to go out and be the best outdoorsman you can be and there needs to be more kids like that.
Great film guys! Drone footage is incredible. Jumping in the water with that 30 was great. I’m gonna have to try it and just not think about the greaties lurking. After watching this, I want to take up fly fishing!
Awesome video, awesome view on these fish. Awesome footage!
Well done. Keep the passion for film and tight lines alive. It's so great to see anglers of your generation get what has taken anglers of my generation decades to figure out. Kudos!
Incredible video guys! I was able to transmit your passion for fishing and the excitement of the moment, very good job!
awesome video!! looking to catch my first on the fly in my kayak this season!
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.
Great video guys. Superb release footage of a magnificent fish too, well done. Must get myself across the pond and catch one of these someday.
We need more vids like this!
gonna start throwin some more stuff up on here again 🤘
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
Nice video, nice releases. keep it up!
Great video. I always enjoy seeing my home waters. I remember seeing you guys at the RR bridge in the CT river
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!! 🤙🔥
Beautifully done gents! Stripers forever!
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. 👍🎣
Amazing video ! We have the same passion for catching Striper
amazing video!!!! Good work!
This is awesome guys! Hope your still chasing these incredible fish and fighting for their conservation.
Wow guys! Epic film! Can't say enough about it!

Solid work dudes👊💪
The drone footage is amazing
Great job guys...... Stripers Forever!!
Great job guys! Way to be ambassadors of the sport and draw attention to conservation
Great film gentlemen! Whatever it is, you all get it 👍
Awesome video fellas
Solid video guys. Keep with it. Same as snook in C.R, but more challenges, less resources. I would love to do some thing like that in my shores...
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.
So sick. Dreaming of spring
I kinda thought oh wow, rich kids but when you jumped in with your fish that was hella cool! Have fun and keep it up!
Love the edit 🎣
great job guys
This is an amazing video, I love it! I was wondering what the name of the flies featured in the video were because I'm trying to get into stripers fishing and really liked them.
Erich Frie glad to hear you enjoyed! The main fly we used was called the Beast Fly. It's a bob popovics pattern that's a great bunker imitator. Hope you catch em!
That's a monster. good video good footage
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.
Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully very soon, its tough with different school schedules but we're workin on it ; - )
Thomas Freund for sure, I hear that- schools tough on time! And hey, I'm local to New England so if you ever want to link up and fish let me know. I go to school in northern maine and live in connecticut.
What an amazing video guys, keep it up. What was the name of the second song used in the scene walking down the dock?
glad you liked the video, jeff! song is called pioneer.
You guys remind me of me and my buddy Derek. When we are in hi school everyday we would fish after home work till dusk
great film. just found your channel I subbed
shortstix all over the place! Love it!
Nice video!
Great fish. What do you think the odds are it survived after you played with it for so long?
Amazing video, fellas. I'm from RI and learned to fly fish in ID/MT. I'm in CO now and coming back home this October in hopes of catching some strippers on the fly. It's so great to see you guys talking about conservation and acting on it as well! Keep up the amazing work and I promise not to keep a stripper if I'm lucky enough to hook one.
Good job
Visionary
What weight fly rod yall running?
And what pound leader/tippet?
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....
Nice!
i don't know if you saw but an osprey dove and got a fish at 5:20 in the background by his face
Were you using the top water w/ no hooks to tease them up then pull it away and cast a fly in front of them? That's wild
That's called cheating. lol
hahaha easier said than done my man...
hey i am going out on my first time any tips
Gr8 video. Subbed
Ooops..2 videos
Damn, how did yall throw that big ass spook bait on a fly rod? That's very impressive
what rod do you prefer for your fishing for Stripers
anywhere from an 8wt to a 12wt! depends on what size flies you're throwing, the size of fish you're targeting, and the conditions.
hell yeah dudes
What rod and reel combo were you using?
g loomis shortstix 11/12 wt with a lamson to match
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
I’m not a fly fisherman but I always catch and release I live in north California we don’t have that much big huge monster striped bass but I got my personal best 31in 20lb on a pencil popper got some pictures and release it same with halibut etc..
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
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 🙃🙃
Fly Rodding for Life! Stripers are relativly easy try weakfish from shore aka sea trout.
you should have way more subs
awesome video? go to rod ??
for this film we rocked the g loomis pro 4x ss a tonnnnn
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
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.
Commercial landings are not the issue, the recreational harvest is considerably greater than any commercial harvest over the last 10 years. Just look at the statistics. They are public... Just saying.
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.
Too many uneducated stubborn people in this world. Killing 25-40 pound fish every chance they get.
Who is killing fish?
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
now take the boat away and limit it to the surf...
I eat hella strippers they taste good af we catch consistent 40-60 pounders down here in the cape every day
Tucker.Guard right!!! I mostly catch and release but honestly can't remember the last time I only caught one fish in a day...try 10-15 from false dawn to an hour after sunrise!
Cape Cod? Cause I will have to agree with you. As far as 60 pounders though, what part of the cape and what one of year haha!
Worth saving so we could torture it for sport, same logic as Predator saving Alien mum.
A little too much hype .
Patrick Brennan Jealous much?
Overwrought, too self-important.
Because your go pro videos are so much better
I kinda thought oh wow, rich kids but when you jumped in with your fish that was hella cool! Have fun and keep it up!
