Over the last year I managed to get a few fish...and fewer pictures..here are a few:

My wife Candy's first Striped Bass...btw..it took a week to chisel that smile off her face:

My late friends last Striped Bass absolutely the nicest guy in the world, passed away on December 29th from cancer: Capt'n Dave

Me...or at least part of me:

Big Striped bass..one of those days where you could catch all you wanted:

Are those saltwater fish? I thought bass were freshwater fish.

We don't have them over here.

Yes, they are a salt water fish. Locally they are called Rock Fish....but are Striped Bass. I think the world record is in the 70+80+ lb. range....the state record in Va. was broken last year in the mid to high 60 lb. range. I'm tickled to get a 30 pounder.....

This is what we call rockfish. They're usually red in color and very bony. They stay right near the bottom in over 200' of water.

[chiefrcd]

We call that bait....

[Mariner]

We call them a "closed fishery".

We've got to go over 50 miles to find 200 ft of water
