gaff?
No need to ever gaff a striper from the beach. If you're close enough to use a gaff (unless you're swimming) the fish is basically on the beach anyway.
As someone already posted, use the waves to reel in..then let the drag play the fish out as the surf retreats. If it's a very large fish, as it tires, it will simply beach itself in the direction the tidal current is flowing....just walk down the beach, keep the line tight.
