[rpomn]

Nice fish! Way to go.

[impactlures]

great looking fish. i wish we had those down here in fla.

[TheAntichrist4ever]

catch and release.....catch and release.....repeat as necessary.

[dandan832]

Hey, one question, if im fishing blues and stripers on topwater poppers, should i use a steel leader(i dont have access to heavy mono, only 20lb mono, 40lb braid and some steel leaders)

[neolancer005]

@dandan832

Use heavy mono for topwater if you want to get striped bass, use wire if you like catching blues all day because the striped bass are leader shy

[sigley0527]

The sad thing is your right. I've been fishing 710, 704, and 706 for years in the surf. It wasn't until last season when I finally bought a VS250. The only thing I couldn't stand about the Penn reels was the "coffee grinder" noise when sand got in the reel. Other than that I still use em, even now that I got a VS. But I see your using a Greenie..if you look at your set up it looks like something from the 70's compared to everyone now a days. No offense intended.

[thefishingline10]

@sigley0527 no problem..the grinder noise doesn;t botehr me as I used ot use Crack 300's in the old old days..that is a 70's greenie and al my other 704's are form the 80's and 90's

[sigley0527]

I guess RJ can't afford a Van Staal. LOL

[thefishingline10]

@sigley0527 not these days LOL...Who needs them or the Zbass...I can see if you're swimming to rocks and submerging your reel al day...but the 704 & 706 was good enough when giant fish every where years ago so I guess they're good enough for me....if folks want them and can afford them God bless you and have fun with them they are great reels..

[eliwoohoo]

Nice fish, nice release! Too many short sighted fishermen these days keeping every fish they catch. Release the big ones, guys! They're the breeders for our future fish population!

[NoviceBasser]

If you dont mind me asking what size gibbs pencil was that

[mybird9]

hey, i just wanted to know if june is a good time for stripers on long island. thanks

[dadsl61r]

Great fish, responsible and quick release.

[asianboy9821]

Nice striper! Love fishing in montauk!

[Kilo2150Golf]

lucky there aren't any chinamen fishing out there

[StuffyG]

I get the feeling that a lot of people have a strange worship for Montauk because supposedly more educated fishermen tell them that they should. It's beautiful, yes, but how many stories do you here about someone breaking there neck in the surf all day for 2 decent fish. A lake 20 minutes from my house has great stripes in the 20-30lb range and a few 40lb+ that are accessible by kayak or houseboat. 20 good fish a day is common in fall. No doubt Montauk is good but I think it's more image.

[groffel123]

@StuffyG Maybe it's the history, but some people are just born to fish. No matter where.......

[gypolike]

why realease him

[NatsTown2K10]

Nice fish.......

[fishingfreak134]

looks like a cordell pencil ...bout 6"?

[jameso321]

@fishingfreak134

Obviously Gibbs Pencil

[MAMAKICKSASSS]

Released to breed and dance another day,

unlike those immigrant fisherman that keep all short bass and kill skates and fithy the beach.

[TheDanielm1991andaha]

@MAMAKICKSASSS

Then you would know not to release the fish you "Native Americans"

[Polythinker]

Is that Lamiglas surf rod,what you fishing with?

[philly442]

big ass fucking  popper

[TralfazConstruction]

So, Montauk's the mecca for Striper fishermen? I was just on the beach at Island Beach State Park in Jersey this morning. There were a slew of them in the wash and most of the action was in the bulge of water just before it bursts onto the sand. All, except for the 37-inch fish which my younger Brother kept, were shorts. In the sub-25-inch class. We were out on the beach 45 minutes prior to sunrise. May do this tomorrow on LBI at Surf City, NJ. Happy fishing to all.

[mostmusclz]

Yes, Montauk is the mecca.

[FishOnFishing]

i would have gutted it and made a soup

[dickdog75]

great video and thanks for sharing!

[yajrez]

what bait do you use?

[FishOnFishing]

they use plugs

[petiethepitt]

Not always,I live here and pencile poppers like this one work well mostly during the day.But you dont see to many slobbs on the surface because there are to many shorts and Blues in the pods,so large Bucktail or diamond Jigs are used to get the slobbs that stay tight on the bottom.Night time is a whole other ball game but is when you see the biggest fish brought in from the beach.I actually use Live EEls and try to catch last 3hrs of incoming tide,or first 3 hrs of outgoing. Montauk is awesome

[xidparanoidjack]

Nice land and release, very clean.

[fruitstripes87]

man ive caught a lot of blues on those poppers

[ezcompany]

awesome fish, great video!

[albieonthefly]

Nice video, good job landing and releasing the fish!

[TheAguAnno]

[LIfisherman1]

[stakanak]

[freedomfascist]

[rawr215]

[mtkpoint]

[doggydodo2]

[azoreanmaggot]

[abanyai123]

Sweet!!!

[khela718]

hey R.J wut u think about rapala lures for stripers?

[thefishingline10]

I use them all the time...5 to 7 inchers

[Bulldog5845]

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY BIG FISH

[hermanica]

are u from montauk or some other part of the island cause i am

[thefishingline10]

I live back to the west in Nassau County

[xxxtremesportsxxx]

@thefishingline10 same here, year round i live on and fish the manhasset bay, but ever fall hunker down in amagansett and fish montauk

[chaingang109054]

thats not willie young your fishing with is it?

[thefishingline10]

not on this rock but in the show I am

[Aslinger989]

to increase the chance that the fish will survive dont handle it by the gill plate, damaging its gills could kill it

[thefishingline10]

Thanks for the advice, but I think I know what'm doing (LOL)

[DEMITRIpa]

fish can recover quicker than you think

[Plywoodhall]

What setup were you using?

[thefishingline10]

Using an 11 foot fiberglass rod with an old Penn 704 and 17 pound test line

[DEMITRIpa]

that lamiglas rod?

[im4fish]

nice my dad and i went to sandy hook NJ twice this year, and got skunked. there was plenty of peanut bunker in the area, but we couldnt seem to catch the fish. My biggest fish was 39 inches from under the trenton makes bridge on a rebel jawbreaker.

[bdogfish]

what rod and action are you using? I must say it looks like a lot of fun.

[woodhall33]

Nice catch,I just got the same lure

[DEMITRIpa]

what lure is it? i've been trying to find that one.

[InformativeFisherman]

Pencil Popper...

Best of Fishing... Nick The Informative Fisherman

[DEMITRIpa]

gibbs?

[ShamrockGod]

Why do people always let the big fish go?

[Dabels42]

Because, the big fish can reproduce even bigger fish. that way the population of bigger fish will increase.If you kept takin out all the big ones the genes will change.

I hoped that helped

later

[thefishingline10]

Wrong!! Bass are geneticlaly programmed to grow till they die...that will never change..

[thefishingline10]

20 pound test

[ManVsWildfan]

I read "Saltwater Sportsman" magazine, and "Field and Stream" and I sea and read so much about these huge stripers in New York, much bigger than the ones in the Presumpscot river and Portland, Maine (my biggest this year was 33 inches). Great Job!

P.S. What pound line were you using?

[chevaliertopaz]

Paphos to be exact

more specific behind the St. George hotel.

Realy nice rockstructures there and amasing beaches.

[chevaliertopaz]

very very nice

now I was wondering

Do you know if it is possible to catch this kind of fish at the shores of cyprus?

[itshimkevinkim]

where is cyprus? and if u look up online about striped bass and where they migrate and where u can catch then u can find out

[freakem99]

nice release,

[googinator2003]

LOL hope you caught some bass in JANUARY !!!

[litljay]

nice fish, the best part was how you said, "get em' under the gill plate, not the gill", ppl, please watch for this, and really no gill holding at all, your killn our fish, in 06, in FLA, there was a study done, over half the Snook released died because they were lipped, a large mouth bass may be able to stand this, snook cant, holding a fish by his/her gill plate is normally gonna end up in a dead fish, please take care how we all handle fish to be released, thanks, Chesapeake/MD angler Jason.

[readyset]

Hey I'm planning a trip to montauk for january and was wondering where is this spot where you were surf fishing?And the pencil popper is that custom made lure? no live bait was used?

[rob864guy]

yay! good cathc and thanks for letting him go

[thefishingline10]

you're welcome...hope you catch him next time
