Not all that big by Striped Bass standards, 33#...

the record from shore is somewhere around 73#

I surfcast about 4 nights a week, check my photo album and you can see some of the areas I fish...

Fishing to me is the full experiance, sometimes i catch sometimes I don't, but I enjoy it every time I get out. I have seen literally hundreds of sunrises, and each make me stop for a second and soak it in...

As far as gear
I fish mainly Lamiglass rods, GSB1201M, GSB1081m, SU1201MH, all of which i have 2 one spinning one conventional
my reels way to many to list but some of my favs are
Spinning-
VanStaal 200 blk
VanStaal 150 gold
Stradics, a a few shimano baitrunners 4500
Conventionals-
Abu Garcia 7000
Abu Garcia 6500
and a few others...
Also Fly Rod
9'-9wt Lami

I wrap my own rods, tie flies, and have made a few of my own plugs, though most of my friends are professional plug builders so I get many free
I have about 250 plugs hanging on my wall, not to mention the 25#'s of rubber I throw like Sluggo's and the like...
Obsessed? maybe

Fantastic! What a great hobby. I tie flies for trout fishing in the local mountain streams. When I fish I totally forget all my worries and stresses. I am caught up in that moment and my mind is obsessed with the fishing. I understand how you feel. Sunrises.....not for me. I'm a night person......I enjoy sunsets! Isn't it great to be able to enjoy such a passion?

Some great looking fish on this site.

What type of gear do you use?

Personally I use everything from my big surf stick to a flyrod. I borrow big trolling rods when we go however that has been a while due to gas prices. BTW if you are looking for someone to test stuff out I got a pond out back two daughters 13 and 12 plus a wife and we all fish.

Nice Fish, I generally only icefish. But freinds tell me that they have best luck with live bait
