My son Matt and I went off for adventure from shore today, and man, did we find it! We landed some of the biggest stripers we have landed in decades as we managed to bank 12 fish, all of them keepers with the majority of the fish going 40-48 inches. In fact, the two pictured below were about 4 feet long. I am estimating these fish were in the 35-40 lb. range, and we had several more in this size range. I might add that all of our fish were released in good shape. Yup, it's all about timing and being in the right spot at the right time in this game. And, we hit it just right today!
