    Default Arctic Plunge to Save Striped Bass

    From NJ, but Fishing up in the Providence River RI because of College I've been catching holdover stripers all winter. Caught 3 schoolies on Lunker City FinSfish and then way upriver noticed a snagged striped bass that was wrapped around a buoy and was stuck yesterday. I went back today determined to save that striped bass that so many of us love today and was successful nothing but a bathing suit and a shirt jumped into 32 degree water (at the expense of loosing my balls for a couple hours, haha) but well worth it.

    I didn't realize how certifiably nuts you were until I saw this video.
    I mean that in a good way....
    It's very rare that someone comes along with that kind of passion for fishing, and striped bass.
    I was just talking about fishermen apathy and selfishness the other day.

    I could see the tide was still moving, but you had sense enough to plan that mission around slack tide. Good thinking.

    Outstanding job. Thanks for sharing that with the folks here....
