I caught a 51" inch Striper off a sandwich beach one nite a few years ago. I was bait fishing. A newell 332 spooled with 40 pound big game. The fish took me almost to my backing. I put my thumb on the spool to slow it down and ended up with a blister on the tip of my thumb. The fish was a real racer....it only weighted 39 pounds....It looked like a wahoo with bass stripes.....It's fins were in perfect shape.....like it spent all its time in deep water and never grubbed on the bottom.....I have caught alot of stripers but never a fish like that one......
