Today was one of the best bass fishing days ever. I fished with my buddy Rich Santos and his son Nick who is home for a break from his Coast Guard duties in Boston.
We found bunker pods with loads of bass under them west of Fire Island inlet. We caught over 30 stripers from 25 to 42 pounds with most fish between 35 and 42 pounds.

Also in on the action was Ray Bartlett and his pal here displaying a nice 45 pound striped bass which was being weighed in for a tournament. George Yurcak was also fishing the area. It was only our three boats and all the big striped bass you could catch.
We released all the fish keeping just two for the dinner table. Here is Rich releasing a 40 pound fish.
Rich weighing a 38 pound fish before release and Nick fighting another fish. We actually had three fish on at the time. Mine was on a stick I put in a rod holder so I could take the photo.
Nick and Rich with a beautiful 40 pound fish. Below are some video clips of the action and some underwater footage of releases.
