great striper jigging out of Montauk, NY

[ksong]

I had great striper jigging on the Ebb Tide out of Montauk, NY last evening and this morning.
Capt Anthony D'Arrigo showed how to catch big striper on a jig by landing and releasing monster striped close to 60 lb.
Even it was Saturday very few anglers showed up.
We used 4 oz hammered diamond jigs.
All were released.

No hate at all….actually comes from loving bass.
All these “look at me” hero shots do a lot of harm to the stock.

Thanks. It is common to see negative comment on internet instead of congratulating for life time catch, especially on jigs.
If you don't want to hurt fish, don't fish.
How can you weigh the life time fish ?
Capt used to be capt of Viking. He choose only jigging as he does not hurt striper as possible.
Just enjoy the pictures.
Even I fish almost everyday, I was excited to see the catch on a jig.

My friend released a 13.1 lb fluke in Nantucket Shoal yesterday.
He weighed holding by the lip. Any other way to weigh fish ?

Nice fish ! I always thought a tape measurement was always more that enough. With the onset of boga grips it's getting rough out there, especially in freshwater. You can weigh the fish hanging in a net.

Weight of a fat-bodied fish
(bass, salmon)
(length x girth x girth)/800

Funny, when I made a post with a non-sponsor boat hundreds of miles away it taken down within the hour. Weird administration.

Nice striped bass.

Congrats on that beautiful bass Ksong! It looks like you have the whole boat to yourself. Is that the case? Was it a evening trip? Thanks
