- Welcome to the inaugural edition of "The Squabblesons" - just kidding Doc and Tina. This is actually a striped bass video in the beautiful Long Island Sound featuring an OG Jigging Jerk Doc, and his long-suffering wife Tina.
As I mention in the video, Doc and Tina used to fish for striped bass many times before they were married. On this trip, we are using fresh, chopped pieces of bunker for bait on a fishfinder rig and Tina hooks into a new PB for her at 46 inches and just under 36 pounds. Congratulations Tina!

When I was still in New York, I would travel out to Mattituck a couple of times a year to fish on the Capt. Bob. What a beautiful little harbor. Several osprey nests are visible along channel.
I think that handling a fish that way might now be ILLEGAL in Massachusetts. They would rather that we don't even take em out of the water! Bad numbers on the rate of survival on released fish.
I’m wondering how true that really is. We catch and release a lot of bass and don’t see them float to the top unless they are gut hooked. Conversely, when we are in Montauk, we do often see them floating at the top.
My understanding is that when their dorsal fin is upright they are safe to return and do not need reviving as was the case with this particular fish.
Doc killed that fish!
Can’t take them out like that.
@@richardkohut4309 Wrong ... How would you take him out , measure and weigh it ?
Great job Tina, way to show Doc how it is done!! You now have bragging rights!
Great fish Tina congratulations on the PB
Great job by all..great video!
Doc lost a bunch of weight. Looking good Doc. Keep it up.
O malakas, that is right 😅 He was hanging by a thread. Good job landing that fish John. Awesome boat by the way, i wish i would had listen to my parents and be a doctor myself 😅
Always wore rain gear when fishing with Bunker. Stain does not come off clothing, and the smell lingers on your hands.
How not to handle a big bass.
Not the smoothest of releases but didn’t net him and got her him back in asap. He kicked out my hands and immediately swam away
My understanding is when the dorsal fin is upright the fish is ready to go and does not need reviving as was the case with this particular fish.
@johnkeriazesakadoc7271 i meant hanging it vertically to weigh it. This has been proven to be awful for big bass. You're putting all the weight on its spine. Support the belly and hold horizontal. Also 2+ min on deck isnt exactly a quick release. Mid july that fish is dead.
@@tonynicoletti8161 Ha ! Like you know . I've been fishing for big bass for 40 yrs . That fish was in great shape IF YOU WATCHED ...
@@johnb2905 its common sense a fish spends its life suspended in water and isnt designed to be held vertically. Cool i wonder how many breeders youve killed in your 40 yrs at the circus. Plenty of research done on this.
Doc Strong 💪🙏🏻👍🏻, nice fish !
Nice catch. However, considering how hard it fought and how long it was kept out of the water, I doubt that it recovered. The lack of oxygen for that period of time really takes a toll on a fish that size. Just my opinion.
As always. Good day on the water ❤
Yours was 47 too. He squeezed the tail.
John - curious to know when using braid mainline for chunking...what kind of knot are you joining brain to mono leader. I find the fish finder getting stuck at the knot often so wondering what works best.
So I never do this myself but I believe Doc uses a swivel between the fishfinder (which runs along the braid) and the rig itself
Great release
Screw the striper, fluke have arrived in Nj got my first limit today! Tight lines John
Nice video John.
Nice fish.
Love the Love back story. Your camera seems a little fish eye? Bait and wait, we do that for red fish but better to hold the rod for those fish. Who's line did you have? 😂
Good video! Is the same boat that Skinner lost his Rod/Reel overboard on?
Yes it is!
what a panic
Nice fish but I liked the Nordiques shirt more
Hahaha, I love vintage hockey stuff. Also have an old Hartford Whalers shirt somewhere.....
Cmon fellas. Show Tina how to hold a rod
Yikes rough comments section today 😳
It’s it’s all good. I understand peoples frustrations with how that fish was handled. Obviously, not done intentionally
@@jiggingjerks The internet expects us to be 100% at all times LOL.
@@jonmenges2256 so true!!!!
Great bass! Any other fish? About how deep?
Nope. One and done. Around 40 feet.
35 feet
No circle hook?
Absolutely using circles
He literally says in the video that they're using circle hooks
Hope you can find a “real” Dr if you have a toothache 😅
Hahahaha, touché Harvey
if that was relaxing !
Geez. Amateur hour
Great big striper
Question,,,, why did you release that fish?
Over slot, cant keep it.
In NY you can only keep bass between 28-31 inches
This bass was 46 inches!
Members only content now ? Booooo Sorry John...I like your content but I wont pay for it. You just bought a ridiculously expensive boat that most of us cant even dream about. I cant afford to help you pay for that. For a video that's already dated ? I will stay subscribed to your regular stuff because I really do like your content. If I have to wait a week or 2 after your release then so be it. I don't follow you to find out where the fish are anyway. Best to you.
It’s just early content - they see it first. I’m aware most subscribers won’t become members so all good. I have a subscriber contest coming tomorrow. Thanks for continuing to be a subscriber
@@jiggingjerks Thanks for responding. I am not a keyboard warrior. I'll pay you to take me and my Dad out any day though.
