My Personal Best Kayak Striped Bass Ever!!!!! NJ

Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok @Shoreman_docfishing for all my fishing activity. The day started out slow and I thought nothing was going to happen for me but I continued searching and fishing. This is by far the biggest catch of my life, striped bass fishing from a kayak. This catch feels a lot more personal to me because I've been grinding and finally got rewarded with this beauty. I wasn’t able to get an exact weight on this fish, only thing I had onboard was a 30lb boga grip that I didn’t trust holding this fish. It would’ve been a waste of time attempting to get a weight because I knew it would've bottomed out my boga. This fish had to be closer to 40lbs or maybe even over. All I know is, that fish was HEAVY! I own a lot of fishing plugs and the one that never seem to let me down is the “DAIWA SP MINNOW” black and yellow 6” floater. That plug will forever be a staple in my bag.
PS: THE FISH WAS SAFELY RELEASED AND THE STRINGER WAS USED ONLY FOR BETTER HANDLING AND FOOTAGE. THANKS FOR WATCHING!

[@ILEprgmmr]

Bro, you were in the mix. Awesome video.

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

Yessirrrrr, thanks bro.

[@jjnightkayaker]

Great Catch! I have used a 30lb boga on a 40lb fish no problem holding. I think boga advertises it can hold fish weighing double the scale capacity, but not positive because I never caught a bass that big to test it

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

Thanks and I wasn’t chancing it, next time probably.

[@ChefEiott]

Juat subbed and nice catch. Can't wait to get out there and catch them hogs. I'm from nor cal and a catch like that here is a striper of a life time. My pb was a 32 as a grown adult w/kids. But when I was kid the biggest I've caught was a 55incher in the early 90s at hogan lake/damn.

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

Thanks man and wow I’m still searching for that 55”, nice catch! Get out there and catch them up they waiting for you.

[@bjbrooks2231]

That was a Striped Whale Bass

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

Word up! Lol

[@auggyboy284]

I’m betting that fish was close to 40lbs…sucks that you lost a plug

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

Yeah I think it was too. All good it happens I ordered 5 more already lol

[@jamesps7515]

That’s all of 40lbs easy nice fish man.

[@ShoreManDocFishing]

I think so to man, thanks.
