My friend was on a charter out of fairhaven and one of the guys aboard took a 55 lb striper today. they took the fish while jigging a white/red parachute with pork rind.
they also took 3 other fish over 30 lbs.
Looks like the canal region tournament is going to have lots of big fish coming to the scales this week.

Wow, nice fish.
Love those Elizabeth's!

Wow, I guess my boat's going back in the water just in time. :)

That's some fish jigging. Was it on wireline? Awesome the cows are headed our way!

The fish was on a 4 oz parachute & mono line

Wow Mikecc, thats a beauty, would love to have seen that take place, must have been awesome!!! I think we are going to see a better class of fish this year. All the fish we have seen so far have been very healthy hefty fish, even those little buggers!!!

I stopped by Mikes' shop today and it was busy and it wasn't even 5:00 yet. He showed me the picture of the fish, big gut. That's a great fish even if it was from a boat. I know I'd take it.
