Striped Bass - 22lbs 12oz - Caught with BARE HANDS!
June 30th, 2008OK… here’s a good one. This fish was caught with BARE HANDS… no rod and reel! On 6-25-08, Anthony Giampaolo was fishing at Overlook Beach (Captree State Park) when he noticed something swimming along the beach up shallow. When he got a closer look he noticed it was a Striped Bass and it looked like something was wrong with it. So he reached into the water, grabbed the fish and when he was carrying up on to the shore he saw what looked like a small Fluke or Flounder STUCK IN IT’S THROAT… The fish was basically choking on it. Figuring no one would believe this story, he brought it to us to weigh and showed us it’s mouth. We reached in, pulled it out and it was about a 10″ long Sun Dial Fish pointed head first down the mouth of the Bass!
Although it’s not common, we’ve heard stories like this many times with Bunker, Fluke, Flounder, Porgies, Sea Bass and even Blackfish.
