Ohhhh there is love !
hahaah thanks man

[kcritch]

That's a solid body of work from shore dude. That's what you get for putting in the time and the miles! Nicely Done and thanks for sharing.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Some great fish there and much greater accomplishment when they are caught from shore.

[AndyS]

Just a ton of fun on the rivers !!!! 100% C&R too !!

[stevejordan]

Thanks guys, had a great season. Put in a ridiculous amount of time. They're spawning out there now so the shore bite is tough. I'll probably get out another day or two before they head back to the salt hopefully.

Awesome dude, all with a flyrod to right?

It's amazing the life cycle of striped bass. How far they travel to spawn and then how far they travel during their migration up the coast to New England and who knows maybe even Nova Scotia only to turn around and do it all over again. And a mix of fresh and salt water to boot! Pretty amazing durable fish.

Great pictures and great to see fish handled properly and released. It's an amazing fishery but like all fisheries will only be sustained through conservation efforts. All those fish you caught and released are the future of the fishery. The beauty of the Hudson, fishing with your dad, catching trophy bass and releasing them for someone else's enjoyment.....doesn't get any better than that!

Great job!
