All is quiet on the site today so I thought I would pose a question of curiousity! What is your biggest striped bass, surf or boat, or both? I will begin....My biggest striper to date is a 31 pound 1 ounce bass that I caught 2 years ago down the backside at the beginning of that seasons fall run. It was quite a night....the beach was jammed with surfcasters and there were fish from 25-40 pounds laying all over the beach, every fisherman that walked by us was dragging a nice fish off the beach. I got mine on a live eel, layed him up high in the sand, and ran back to the waters edge and on my next cast I had a bigger fish on but it ran directly towards me and I could not take the slack line up quick enough. She must have wrapped the line around herself and then cut me off!
I was not too upset though because I already had the biggest bass I ever caught laying in the sand and I was pretty happy.
But man, I walked off the beach that night with my fish...and there were huge bass laying all over the parking lot. People had them on the ground, on their tailgates, they were sticking out of coolers. It was like a striped bass truck had exploded in the parking lot. Lots of fun. Boy...you really wind up wanting bigger fish, it is like an illness. The bigger you catch, the bigger you want.
I have been fishing hard trying to break that 40 pound mark, but it sure ain't easy! I know many of you have done it, it must be pretty sweet.
OK...your turn, tell us about your braggin' bass.
