Sam Adams, 6-yr old Striper fisherman, has become a bit of a celebrity at the NJ shore. He's my nephew's kid. He and the fish were almost exactly the same weight and height. The story is a few weeks old now, he's been all over the news.

Congratulations to Sam, he did a great job handling that fish.
You must be proud...good stuff!
I'm sure this one will make photo of the month when the boss gets back

Good job Sam.

He and his grandfather (my brother-in-law) have been flying high for a month now! They just keep getting more interviews and the story gets spread further and further. Poor Sam, he may try all his life to beat this fish and never succeed. Here's the full video of the fight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNI-cOrs4M8
WOW!!!!! My kind of boy. Talk about kickin butt. Father and son will never forget that day and I'd be willing to bet its only a start for many more.
Absolutely awesome job Sam!

Simply amazing. That kid knows how to dig in and put some whooping on a fish. Very impressive.
Good for him. No he will never forget.
My little guy still talks about the big shark he caught by himself. He's 21 now.
Congrats to Sam. He's a great fisher.
Outstanding!!! Sam
