aloha james and thanks for joining us.
James: Welcome. Great fish. I used to surf fish Bradley Beach and Point Pleasant, but never caught a fish like that...Wow! Dominick
Aloha James. That's a lunker of a striper. Must have been fun catching that baby.
Hi
That's a HOG of a striper - outstanding! Welcome aboard from northern Kahleeforneea.
Hell of a fish James... what's the weight on that sow? My biggest is 40 lbs. 2 oz., but that looks bigger. I fished out of the Manasquan Inlet and surf fished the inlet on the Point and Squan sides not too mention every boat out of Point and Shark River. I used to snag 300 bunker a day in that inlet to trade for free trips on the party boats...you could walk on them they were so thick. One of the most dedicated and skilled fisherman down the shore was my next door neighbor for about 5 years when I lived in Sea Girt. Almost all N.Y. 'ers gotta do at least a small stint in NJ to really appreciate NYC ;D (Uh Oh...Jersey's gonna give me sh#* for that one...sorry Ellis:) His name was Mr. Bogan (Bogan's Boat Basin, owner of a fleet of party boats, bait/tackle shops/ rod and reel repair/maker, and one of the foremost pioneers of the Jersey Shore fishery. He was a heck of a nice guy, and patient teacher... his children run the show now (I believe he passed away). They are also extremely talented! Welcome aboard!
