Do you know how to release a fish? Smooch & Abysmal Release!

[@AS-cv4qz]

Congrats on the fish Unfortunately most likely that fish will not survive the stress and lack of proper release although potential to be a #50 one day

[@Iswann-xv2xy]

Also that fish is dead no water running in the gills that whole time and you just tossed it 😅😅😅

[@SurfcastingMontauk247]

congrats but yo you didnt even have the gills in the water for the revival then just pushed him off on a suck out. you know better and can do better in that situation and if you dont check out my night revival of a big one ✌️

[@ericbartolotta6567]

Nice fish, well deserved but that revival was a shame

[@colem.9815]

Just wondering in case I catch a fish like this ever, what should he have done different?

[@hossprey]

​@@colem.9815 gotta keep the head underwater. They need water coming in the mouth and out gills to breathe. Once she starts kicking, let her go.

[@aaronfofana9510]

It wasn't out of the water for long. Stripers are sturdy for a few moments out of the water.

[@flukekiller1882]

@@aaronfofana9510fish that size after a long fight 30 sec to 2 min outa the water they dead unless revived properly

[@eves08109]

That's why I stay off jetties for going after fish like that. They really should be kept in water.

[@michaeloshea3090]

Congratulations! I can feel your excitement. I still feel that way for over 35 years after I caught my 60+. Yours on a bucktail and mine on a teaser, doesn't get better😊

[@Miscellaneous-oe6td]

I've been a hard core surfcaster for many, many years. That fish is DEFINITELY not a 50 lb fish.

[@Underworldshanks]

FACTS

[@ras124]

Looks like 49 pounds

[@paulmartin7930]

Definitely not a 50lber its a 50lber plus check out stripe bass weight chart you will be amazed how wrong you've been all these years you probably had a 50lber and didn't know it congratulations

[@andrewhirtle3525]

Got to agree

[@CJ-ld1kj]

I gotta agree with miscellaneous… looks about 35lbs to me

[@eddieterribile1455]

I hope Erica gets you a boga for Christmas

[@MackBolan1]

You’ve earned it. Thanks for sharing that experience. I could feel it all !

[@stevenreardon9625]

The crabs are happy. As a community, I hope others will learn to properly release the fish we catch, cause that wasn't it. It's up to us to protect our resource the best ways we can. A proper release is one of the many ways. Especially on the older fish

[@toshow237]

Ive fished for many species salt and fresh. Striper is one species that you can’t just drag on a jetty and walk around with if you want the fish to survive. It isn’t a largemouth, you should never hold a striper out of the water for more than it takes someone to quickly snap a photo.

[@MrNick-]

I would’ve (carefully) released the fish on the inlet side of the jetty, not the ocean side.

[@mikestarr6634]

I think we've come a long way in how we release fish and sometimes we're too tough on each other because we all make mistakes in the moment, but honestly, this was pretty much everything you could do wrong if you wanted the fish to live.

[@THERE4LGOAT]

Link to the scale you used ? Or the crack you smoked when you thought it was 50lbs??

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Congrats! Since you are relatively 'young' I am sure there will be more 50 plus stripers in your future! Fantastic that you have a video of your catch.

[@cuzzint4016]

If thats a 50, how many 35-40 lb fish have you actually weighed?🤔

[@boarderr1]

Legendary Bro!!! You will feel your body shaking like that forever !! Congrats on the trophy. Well deserved. 👌🏻 🐮

[@redline927]

Congrats on a great fish from the surf. But you’d be shocked to learn that’s not even close to 50. Your jaw will drop when you see an actual 50. It’s an elusive fish. As other have said, try to spend some more time on the release as well, but again nice job , good fish and video

[@hookdup1927]

its most likely A 25 pounder if that.

[@mikestarr6634]

@@hookdup1927 I think a 30, maybe. You'd think just the way he's tossing the poor fish around he'd realize it's not a 50.

[@user-yn2dj8bf9t]

Congrats. Those big bass will leave you shaking every time. Thanks for taking the selfie at the last show. Your videos are alway entertaining. Be safe out there!

[@ronin36963]

Looks like you're havin a great fall. Keep grindin out there!!

[@bloodlinefishingadventuresllc]

congrats on your PB. Well-deserved man

[@gaspertringale3446]

as others have said: good catching /bad releasing. everyone knows the striper population is in trouble. the point of catch and release is to release and LIVE. do it quickly, don't manhandle it, try to keep the fish in the water. we know what a bass looks like you don't need to stick it in the camera. fishing a jetty/rocks is extra tricky, you need a plan on how to handle the release before you hook anything. you landed some beautiful fish but maybe focus a bit more on the 'Release' part of your logo.

[@richklein9864]

You killed that bass. But hey, At least you got your pics.:(

[@brianharding5618]

Pics is all that mattered to this guy. Fish life a distant second.

[@yugomarinkovic2067]

Beautiful fish great job!!!

[@jimmyd5484]

Nice fish paulie, not 50 but still a beauty, I’ve been fishing that inlet for almost 40 years, and have been blessed to have had many amazing nights you just have to put in the time and it will pay off! Back in the late 90s i was down there one evening in late October it was a beautiful night the World Series was being played so there wasn’t a lot of other guys down there, it was a night we all dream of the 2 of us had over a dozen fish over 30lbs, the highlight for me was i hooked into one i knew was big, we were at the point of the inlet i fought the fish for about 20 minutes, keep in mind in those days we fished with 20lb monofilament i worked my way half way down the jetty until we were able to hoist him up, i knew he was the big didn’t know exactly how much, put him in the cooler on ice and the next morning went over to Paul at j.j was 57lbs. I’ve been chasing the magical 60 plus 🙂. Maybe someday!!!🤞

[@joegiunta2106]

Jimmy, you don't know me but I had to leave this message for you, God our Creator does NOT approve of "Catch and Release" or in other words "Sport Fishing" In God's eyes fishing is for catching fish to eat, it is not intended for catching fish for pleasure so make sure you go fishing in the intent for food, I had to comply myself when I found this out. We are living in the last of the last days and Jesus is going to return very soon. No 50-pound fish or Bigger is worth losing your soul in Hell and the Lake of Fire, they are real places in the afterlife and it is forever, repent of your sins, and comply with what the Bible says so you will find yourself worthy of heaven!!!

[@NoLongerBlind12]

@@joegiunta2106 - where in Scripture does God forbid “catch and release“ fishing? I suggest it falls under the category of good stewardship of the resources He has provided for us; also, it would fall under “submission to governing authorities”, and obeying the Striped Bass regulations for that particular state. On a different, and more important note, nobody will be found “worthy of heaven”, apart from having saving faith in Jesus Christ. Only Christ’s perfect righteousness, imputed to us, can make us worthy. Apart from that, everyone will die in their sins, be found guilty before the Great White Throne of Judgment, and “die the second death”, being cast into the lake of fire for all eternity. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

[@Rick6452]

Just asking, but are you saying you go to hell if you sportfish or practice catch & release? @@joegiunta2106

[@stefancharleskrompier6247]

@@joegiunta2106 is this satire lol. Ah yes burn In hell for catch and release

[@joegiunta2106]

@@stefancharleskrompier6247, Men, ways of thinking are not the same as how God thinks, What we think is not a big deal, is a big deal to God, so when God revealed to me not to sport fish because hurting fish for our pleasure is not what fishing was intended for. We must be thinking of going fishing to catch fish to eat. I'm not playing Russian Roulet with my soul, if you want to take a chance with your eternal soul, you go right ahead!!!

[@yeezlife]

Wow, I'd be ecstatic with just the 25lber. Sick video man!

[@omarsheriffkaptan]

Great fishing and I can feel your excitement and joy. I just want to admonish you take time to learn and improve on your releases, especially when they are that big. The head has to be completely in the water, move it forward gently (preferably by holding the tail end) to get flowing water into the mouth and over the gills. Never let it go till you can feel it wanting to free itself by a strong movement and observe it to ensure it’s able to swim freely away. All the best and tight lines 🙌🏾

I knew that fish was a goner the second I saw that “release.” You need to put the rod down and learn how to release a fish before you throw another cast.

[@Clambelly]

Nice fish, but as others posted, NOT 50 lbs., and that's not how to release a fish in the surf. Hold the fish by the tail and swish it forward and back until the fish powers out of your grasp, then you know the fish is revived. Have no clue why you were holding its head out of the water.

[@paulmartin7930]

“Stripe bass weight chart” as you call it, isn’t very accurate with only the length. And an estimated length at that. Your fish wasn’t 40#.

[@andrewhirtle3525]

Wtf was that revival? Do you understand how fish work? The only part that needed to be in the water wasn’t. Also that’s a 35lb fish tops and that “25 pounder” was half that

You actually killed that fish. Keeping its head up to get smashed by the waves is actually absurd. Not a single second spent reviving that fish

He doesn't know how a fish works. Water through the gills = breathing fish.
