Fishing with Dad

17 pound Striped Bass.  Caught in Island Beach State Park.  I used a fish finder rig and clams to hook this one.  It took about 15 minutes to get onto the beach as it was low tide and I was using 12 pound test.   Nevertheless a fun and enjoyable fight.  Fish was released.

Caught aboard the Jamaica in August of 2009.  It weighed in at a whopping 9.3 lbs.  It won the overall pool on the charter boat by a measly 3/10 of a pound.
