Big Boys are Back 2016
Chuck Furimsky, Theo Bakelaar, and Harry Schoel have been fishing together in these weeks before the International Fly Tying Symposium (Nov. 19/20 at the Garden State Convention Center in Somerset, NJ—see here).
This week they were hunting big stripers about 50 miles north of Ocean City, NJ. And they found them. Casting 10-inch long bunker imitations, they tied into 20-pound plus monsters that ripped line from the reel like a freight train. Whoa. What a blast.
Look at the fly hanging out the mouth of this big boy–it’s way bigger than Chuck’s mustache.
It’s hard not to smile when you’re holding a striper of this size–good on you Theo.
