nice fish- lol at the net comment who gave that guy a thumbs down?

[Trailzzone]

The charter captain told me he went right out and bought a bigger net!

[lilgia1]

20 thousand dollar boat, 200 dollar rods and reels, hundreds of dollars of video equipment,--and a 2 bit landing net!!!

I find all the comments about needing bigger rods and reels pretty funny.Lots of clueless fishermen out there I guess.With LT its all about playing the fish,feeling the fishes every move.No need to yank um In with a broom stick!

@seahuntroger i agree, I've been rockfish fishin' with my dad and grandfather ever since i was 3 years old and we've always used 10 - 14 lb line and semi-small ugly sticks to catch them. Best way to spend an early Saturday morning.

[RaPiiDxxFiiRE]

[seahuntroger]

You stick with the lifting of dumbbells mussel head,I'm going fishing !!

Your clueless fisherman here. Its not all about playing the fish, this kills them. Do a little research, the faster you get these fish in and put them back in the water the better for them. I'm all about catch and release, even if you released these fish and they swam away half of them went belly up just a little while after release. Bring the proper gear to get these fish in the boat fast and release them properly.... then our sons will have plenty of fat bass to catch in 20 years.

@lilgia1 and catching the fish- priceless.

@joshpa247

there is a pier on the bridge that you can fish off of that goes out into the bay.

[therichesthobo1]

The Chesapeak Bay bridge is called the Key Bridge isen't it? and you don't see it but your close to hitting those decks underwater thosepillons are sitting on

[joshpa247]

So do you have to have a boat by chesapeake bay? You cant fish off the bridge?

I never been to va beach.. we catch strippers up here in pittsburgh but biggest is like 28 inches.. Can you fish off the shore by the bridge?  What kind of test pound line?

I use 6-10 pound here...and only i ever use in the ocean was live shrimp and squid
