Thirty Plus Pound Striper

Took a road trip to Massachusetts to fish Joppa Flats. Patty caught this wicked huge monstah stripah on ten pound mono and a swimming plug. The bass crushed the lure at the side of the boat and actually greyhounded after the strike, coming completely out of the water. She then ran off fifty plus yards of line and wasn't stopping until I chased her down with the boat. After about ten minutes we had her boat side. The fish completely bottomed out my thirty pound boga grip and approached forty pounds. I did not measure the length because we were in a hurry to release the fish. She swam away to fight another day.
