It was mid September, just off South Beach in Chatham. My friend Red and I got into a school of very large Stripers feeding on a huge school of baby Bunker over a couple acres. These fish were all well over 30" and several went over 30 lbs.
All taken on flies; the action lasted till just after daylight and we each released over 30 fish. The action didn't die down untill after a couple other boats joined us. Unfortunately, the last guy to show up persisted on blasting into the breaking fish and putting everything down.
Red and I are in our 70's and have been Striper fishing since the late 1940's.
When it was over, we both agreed we had never seen so many big hungry fish at one time. Biggest fish were 47" and 48" and we each kept one around 30".
Mine was fishing for tuna off Capecod this year.
It was not that amount of tuna we got but the amout of time I spent on the ocean and all the whales that I seen
