What a fish! Catches a 60lber and when seeing it swim away safely "Greatest feeling in the world". Let me tell you, seeing you handle and release that fish with so much care..nothing but respect. Awesome video. Subscribed.
Awesome fish guys, and more importantly thank you for the great care spent reviving those fish. This video should be a lesson for everyone on how to properly revive fish! Bravo! Awesome job!! Congrats on those beauties! Fish of a lifetime right there. Both of em.
When I was a kid, my father would go fishing a week at a time. He would come home with Cod, haddock, blue fish, and stripers in two 55-gallon drums filled to the top (we never saw anything small. He only kept the large fish).This is still one of my favorite videos. 🎣
Way to go guys!!!! Absolute BEASTS!! Was really pleased to see the way you handled & revived them! That my friends is how its done!! Just like the other guys comment said..."True Fisherman!" God Bless guys , keep up the awesome work!!
I keep coming back and watching this occasionally. Just simply unbelievable. Those boys were probably doubting the trip during that cold ride though!🤣😂🤣
Awesome right?? I asked him later on why he didn’t say anything and he said he couldn’t believe what was happening. He didn’t know what to say. And he’s normally a very talkative kid 😆. Great stuff!! Thanks for the comment brother 👍👍
Catching fish, whatever their size, and being 100% responsible for their release, I can't argue with that even if I'm now an ex-fisherman (except on TH-cam!). Your final comment on the release as being "the greatest feeling in the world" speaks for us all.
Jesus Christ, most amazing double hook up ever. I hope I live long enough to see one like either one of those someday. Well done! And you released them.. Bless you.
Luck boys to have a Dad like you to take them fishing. A definite plus to catch world class trophy stripers as well. Life long memories indeed. God bless and tight lines.
"Wow" those two beautiful great stripers, I did not think that we still had fish of that size in our Coast, so you guys are very very lucky. I am 69 years old and I can remember when my dad went to a tournament in 1960 at Pacifica for the annual striper Derby, he won the derby with a 64 pounder off the shore casting so I thought that was the ultimate but you guys are blessed to catch a 50 and 60 that is amazing what a beautiful day!!!
Mike Smedley Mike will you guys fishing at Half Moon Bay I assumed you were it look like the Jetties in the and nice in the radar think on that hill so I just wasn't sure just wanted to find out if that's where you guys were like I said what a great catch what a beautiful day let me know thanks
Mike Smedley Oh I thought you were in the west coast I guess that's in the east coast where you got those big fish it kind of look like an area where I live called Half Moon Bay
Mike, I have to say big fish and not for nothing but you have to show people more of the way you release those big girls. It’s well done. You guys are awesome. Great video my man.
Thanks brother. I appreciate that. These fish are very dear to me, especially when I can catch them with my Son. The least I can do is take a little extra time to thank that sweet girl for the memories and make sure she can defend herself in the currents after we release her. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS been watching your videos lately I'm fishing California. I'd like to fish for stripers I live close by to the aqueduct where we do pretty good. Right now I'm learning how to use lures properly. Thank you for the videos they're awesome awesome boat
Amazing to see them swim off brother. That is beyond cool with the up most respect! You deserve to have gotten those fish for the simple fact you respect them. Congratulations. 2 fish of a lifetime at same time released to get Evan bigger.
Awesomeness Mike, that's the way to do it, memories made for a lifetime with your son ☝️🎣☝️👍👍❤ Catch n Release the Big Breeders for a better future Striper fishery, True Fishermen !! Congratulations !!!🥳❤
Stripers are such beautiful fish, an to see 2 monsters caught by 2 young gentlemen is just awesome, an to top it off the fish live to fight another day, epic catch an release, an Mike great job puttin em on the fish as always
THATS RIGHT!! The bigger guy is my youngest Son, and the smaller guy is his best friend. They were home from ECU on break so we snuck out for a few days before they had to go back to work. My oldest is at NC State and couldn’t get away. As you can imagine they grew up fishing a lot and my youngest son here is COMPLETELY ATE UP!! He has salt in his veins. I’m so glad he was the one to catch this beauty. He can operate my electronics like a BEAST!! 😛😛😛
Probably 20 year old fish.. As someone who has a small TH-cam fishing channel and catches stripers, I can really share in the enjoyment. The fish gods will bless you for the catch and release "let 'em go.. let 'em grow"
Hey Dad … Fabulous video and you handled those fish so well …. Best part is how you with your Son and friend .. Teaching and staying nice and calm in the process !! From a proud father of 5 who fished with my gang at Cape Cod congratulations .. They are older now but love to fish … Great memories … Congratulations again !!!!!
Wow I have seen a 60lbs striper. I have been fishing on the san Francisco bay area and my biggest was 28. The west coast stripers fishery have gone down hill. The biggest striper I have caught was 12 pounds in recent years. You are so lucky to have huge stripers like that.
Great catch! I caught one bigger than that last week...right before I woke up from my dream
Dr. D. Harrell 😂😂Thanks Brother!!

You are very right brother!! We are fortunate to have fish this size around. This was a very special day for sure !! Thanks!!!
