Caught a 34 inch striper off Long Island Sound the other night. 10 other people on the party boat with me, total 4 stripers were caught. Got the biggest one and it was my PB. Really good fight... so much fun.

Nice catch Ben, and a keeper to boot! I hope you won the pool too. Congrats on the PB as well.

Wow, that beast must've wore out your drag for sure! Congratulations and thanks for posting!
Thanks for all the supportive comments. Such a great community and I learn so much from you all.
I cut it into steaks and steamed a few already... yes, very good eating. Fish head was used to make fish stock. To be used to make some fisherman's stew.
As for the catch, we used bunker chunks while the mate was chumming from the boat. My fish was so strong, it dragged me from one corner to the other while my fellow fishermen considerately played London Bridge under my line. Got to the other end and the fish almost pulled me over the rail. Great fight and finally pulled him in.
