Big A$$ fish! It was bigger than you described. Did he break mono or braid running to the hook?

40 lb braid (power pro).

And we launched from Jones Point. Don't think there's another decent launch up close unfortunately--Google maps doesnt reveal a whole lot.

Very nice fish.

Now that's some good winter fishin. Nice.

Yeah, I've been hearing reports of NO fish at the CCNPP. Sad...

Nice job, you guys make me want to get out there real soon! Excellent fish, too bad on the one that got away.

Really is. I only fished the bay from 2011 to 2013 and even in that short span noticed an enormous change (for the worse) in the striper population. We also had bad luck in fishing the rips the day after they took one of the generators off line. But frankly I don't think it would have made much of a difference anyway.
