50+ pound Striped Bass caught, revived and released to fight again.

Went out with SEAN , his dad and Anthony and trolled around some bunker schools. We Marked a school of Fish and not even a second later, the rod starts screaming. The fish pulled out 200 feet of braid on the initial run. We knew it was a good fish or possibly a double. We got the fish to the boat, got it in the net and all of us were in awww at the sheer size of this beautiful striped bass. The fish measured just under 55 inches long. This is something you would have to see in person to truly appreciate how massive it was as the videos and photos do this Fish zero justice. We quickly got her back into the water, revived her and watched her swim away. What a great feeling to see this massive fish just swim off. #fishinglongisland #stripedbass

Honestly, the videos and pictures really did this fish no justice. It was 55 inches long a true giant.
