47.3" / 37.5 lb. Striped Bass (striper) caught by Richard Levis fishing on Wednesday July 23, 2008 at 12:20 using a live mackerel a Baitfish

Drifting live macks 2 to 3 miles off the NH coast. This cow was screaming line out on my bait feeder reel when I hauled back the rod setting the hook and putting him on the main drag almost simultaneously. After a 15 minute battle, my buddy netted him. I had to set my rod down and help him bring the net with fish over the gunwale. I can tell you in all honesty, my adrenaline was PUMPING!
Tight lines,
Richard
