Pics of fish...All courtesy of some friends who I've fished with in different locations....
Delaware Bay Spring 2015......fish to 40#
Cape May....May 2015....
This is a friend who goes out and hunts for fish....
{some of you have heard remarks made that some of these post-spawn Cape May area fish had nothing in their bellies).....this one was long and a little under weight.....
Some of the fish 47" and over have weighed out at 42 lbs or more...you can tell by looking at the pic she is long and skinny for her size......
Some details...
"Fished from 4-7am...nothing....
Took a nap..ate lunch..went for a drive up the coast....
Went back to beach front around 5:30....
Got her at 7pm on fresh clams....
continued fishing until 9:30 pm when the tide died......
I had a really fresh bunker head on other rod....they did not touch it....
The power of the clam....Clam beat out bunker...
47 inches and 36 lbs
17 hours for one fish...thanks for the good words Rich I earned that fish!"
Nice fish!!
Now please send them to LI nothing but blues and blues lately.
Very nice fish well deserved. I don't know if I could stick it out for that long for just one fish.
Holy moly would love to catch a striper like that. Nice job!
