40 inch Striped bass fishing cheating with plastic to catch crane beach ipswich MA little neck

[Dsexton12]

What time of year was this?

[fakeusa]

That's a nice catch, what kind/size rod are you fishing with there?

[brianmoc]

@fakeusa 9' foot lamaglas Ron A 1oz-20oz

[brianmoc]

@fakeusa summer :)

[scottbranlawns]

Let em go, Let em grow. We have huge freshwater stripers here in Tennessee on the cumberland river (some 50+, a shitload of 40lb'ers). All these are hatchery fish and we still release them. To me its a hell of lot more fun to catch one fifty pounder then five ten pounders but thats just me.

[brianmoc]

@scottbranlawns if everyone had let them go over the years there would be ton more big and small fish. :( your 100% right let them grow.

[Mrevanator1000]

i live there omg

[jbritton20102014]

pink slugo will do the job every time

[brianmoc]

@jbritton20102014 not in here? pink, yellow and purple where all used Black and white where the only guys to get fish. herring is the bait.

[OrangeYaGlad123]

catch and release is gay

[brianmoc]

@OrangeYaGlad123 I thought it was Indiana sports that where gay? I U whats the deference there all farm Animals! :)

Gay as catch and release is you have to do it the population of stripped bass is on the decline some of us have to take in the ___

[OrangeYaGlad123]

@brianmoc you think just because i have an I U background on my account that means I live in indiana? lol I live in new Jersey and deep sea troll for everything from drum fish to marlin, wahoo,tuna and mahi mahi and i dont release my catch i catch for keeps, and down here there not on a decline were allowed a 2 per day bag limit for stripers but i guess its different up north

[brianmoc]

@OrangeYaGlad123 I was going with the I.U back ground as a give way? :) But its 2 from the shore in Ma but not next year and look out they are doing the same via boat for NJ next year.. Its not the big fish its the small fish. the breeders you are catching are the last of them. the bad fishing will start next year and then keep going for the next 5-6 years! :( Nevertheless, You following the rules so GOOD LUCK fishing!

[OrangeYaGlad123]

@brianmoc 5-6 years!!! but striper is delicious, and didnt a guy in rhode island catch a striper 1lbs shy of a world record a couple weeks ago? anyways i dont think its the fishermen the are destroying the striper population its the netters they catch everything including stripers but you cant sell them in jersey so they waste them or throw them back dead

[bulldude8796]

@OrangeYaGlad123 BTW up north we can get as many as we want as long as they are longer then 28 inches....

[OrangeYaGlad123]

@bulldude8796 thats awesome man we can only take two but we can get a special permit to take 3, it sucks

[bulldude8796]

@OrangeYaGlad123 Really? Thats horrible XD I would die knowing I could only take two.

[bulldude8796]

@OrangeYaGlad123 So are you but the world doesnt give a shit you mentally challenged idiot :/

[Unplugged704]

@OrangeYaGlad123 - catch/release is ideal if one is only for the fun and enjoyment of fishing. I'm sure Brian takes some home once in a while....

[Unplugged704]

I wonder if RI has any places like this to fish for stripers????

[rushy548]

Fantastic video and much kudos to you for the release! Unfortunately in the UK that fish would have been knocked on the head and paraded round as a trophy. Perhaps that's why a 30 inch bass is a 'fish of a lifetime' and as rare as hen's teeth.

[brianmoc]

@rushy548 These guys are on there way out so you have to let as many go as you can. Also like your video's neat fishing.

[TurboGSR96]

good handling of the fish and the c&r, nice job!

[brianmoc]

@TurboGSR96 Thanks! all of them are catch and release and like your videos as well.

[Rimjobs1]

Nice C and R bro much respect

[brianmoc]

@Rimjobs1 tHANKS RM you can keep them all..

[smallblocksupercharg]

i did this once, and my camera was gone when i turn back

[Holyjtizzle123]

wow thats a great fish. i hear alot of good storys about fishing at crane beach. Where exactly is this location? And how far away do you think it is from boston?

[brianmoc]

@Holyjtizzle123 Its In Ipswich and runs down to west Gloucester but its 40 miles north of Boston and at 2,3, or 4-am it takes about 45 mins to get there depending where you live in the city. I start out from South st so with no lights its a straight shoot. Thanks

[Thelaxprofisherman]

U ever use live bait? Those mackerel u can jig for at pier in summer work good.

[brianmoc]

@Thelaxprofisherman live bait fishermen will always out fish lure guys be it macks or eels but its to easy so its no fun. :) i like top water 99% not as many fish but more skill and more exciting!

[saltycreefer]

@brianmoc EEL fishing is awesome! Bait on the bottom sucks!!! I've caught a lot of big fish on eels and you fish them like a sluggo so whats the difference? Oh yeah, BIG FISH!

[brianmoc]

@saltycreefer I always give credit to the guys that will always out fish me with eels! I just like seeing the fish hit the lure on top water. Do i miss out on bigger fish yes! but what can i do? These fish just like sluggo's and eels not top water.

[Thelaxprofisherman]

U ever use live bait? In the summer if u can catch live mackerel at pier u might get some good ones.

[trevorlw01]

I live ib Georgia and I caught a 40 pounder sniper

[brianmoc]

@trevorlw01 WAY to go! fun and not easy so keep up the good work!

[Kivstev]

No Bait+No boat=No cheating :)

Nice job on the release, too.

[Kivstev]

No bait+No boats=No cheating ;)

[SvB4EvA]

lol, for a second there I thought you didnt have any pants on

[brianmoc]

@SvB4EvA ha! :) 

[G35pudge]

whats a lowbrow?

[brianmoc]

@G35pudge Its slag. as in; I'm a fly fishermen and using plugs is lowbrow. or I fish with plugs and using a slugo is lowbrow. :)

[herbtiner]

@brianmoc Well then what should a guy use to catch them live bait or dynamite?

[brianmoc]

@herbtiner :) dynamite would be cool but as you can see people are sleeping in the background! :) nevertheless, bait is easy and not that fun but a big plastic worm works! :)

[scrubitkook]

how is throwing slugs "lowbrow"?they work,and they work well.

[brianmoc]

@scrubitkook :) its just a joke we use between friends.. :) they work veryyyy well its just we like to see the fish hit top water. you will see 4 guys fishing top water lures and once one of us goes to the slugo you here a sigh as we know he will get a fish asap. he gets the; cheater! comment :) hows that?

[G35pudge]

man this is awesome. how do u get to cranes again? you seem to have so much luck. Like that time in gloucester keep up the good videos

[brianmoc]

@G35pudge I drive to Crane's :) and its all 100% pure luck! :) You have time to get there but its in Ipswich MA...

[G35pudge]

@brianmoc might just give it a try. did u have a jighead on the sluggos?

[brianmoc]

@G35pudge I went lowbrow but not jig head lowbrow! :)) sluggo! That's all these big fish where taking all week! git 3 fish on top water from 29-32inch and 3 fish and this one from 39-41 on sluggo's. sad but true. :)

[G35pudge]

man this is awesome. how do u get to cranes again? you seem to have so much luck. Like that time in gloucester

[Mncat30]

That looks like some real fun! How much is a ticket from Mpls? :)

[brianmoc]

@Mncat30  mpls?

[Mncat30]

@brianmoc Minneapolis Minnesota. I love walking in the water as I fish...your videos make me want to get on a plane!

[brianmoc]

@Mncat30 ok :) it is fun and just like in mpls the water is cold! 54 that morning. with the air at 57! :)

[brianmoc]

it was a 9 foot medium heavy surf pole and i was using a slug-o :( that is a about close to bait as i go but done right the bait guy can always out fish me.

[racooninabag]

nice catch! what size rod do you use??

and what was the lure you were using?? do you ever catch these stripers with bait, if so, what do you use??

great vid!

[bloodknot101]

brian - nice work man - when will you have something new for me to look at?

[brianmoc]

@bloodknot101 big fish this am but it was raining so no camera. :(

[francmeister420]

very nice Brian, i have been slayin fish on LI. 

[brianmoc]

@francmeister420 i hope you not slayin to many fish? :) otherwise they will not make it to me! i let this guy go so you could catch him later in the fall! :) take what you need but keep slayin them! then take a picture! best o luck & thanks brian

[brianmoc]

@bloodknot101 :) "learn how to handle these fish a little better after landing them." YES, YES, but i'm trying my best and will next time. and thank you..

[francmeister420]

@brianmoc

I meant slaying them like having 40+ fish in a night all 6-10 pounds. Can't beat it . I release most of my catches as well.
