UnBelievable Striper Fishing off Atlantic City, NJ

Title Says it all!!! 12/8/2021. The plan was Tog fishing, but the striped bass bite was too good to resist!!!! A few more vids coming from December then we'll do some how-to vids and updates on both boats!!!!

[@psujoe2127]

Love how you talk to the fish when landing. Makes me laugh. You treat them almost like pets and with respect. Well done.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Ha!!!! I try my best to really respect all my caches

[@totalnoobfishing1753]

Perfect way to treat the fish with care and urgency...no show-boating Instagram bullsh*t... true catch-n-release gentleman.!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching! It never gets old!

[@jamesflynn263]

Striper always give the hardest and funnest and best fight. Great Video!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Couldn't agree more!

[@briansupermag3918]

Capt chris well you always say that you have to be and stay versatile. If one thing is not happening, you go with what is going on. Great job. Wish you and yours a happy healthy New Year brother

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Darn right. Thanks as always for watching Brian. Happy New Year brother.

[@raymondgallagher8933]

Great vid, once again thanks for all, great to see the fishery holding good or better than previous, great stuff

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Raymond!!! Real nice numbers of bass this fall

[@joeyhollis7930]

Another awesome video Chris! I got into them pretty good this year off of AC and Brigantine myself. Never seen a year like this for Striper! Be well and tight lines to you, look forward to seeing you at the marina as the weather warms up!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for watching Joey!

[@jfad4940]

Can't wait for the summer!!

[@seekinfindin5669]

Great Video. Tight Lines.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much

[@ciroromer7380]

Cant beat a good striper/tog combo. Love November December! Adding a heading sensor on my Minn Kota helped a lot for staying on structure. your cat cracked me up too lol.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yeah i use that heading sensor all the time for the fluking!

[@vvk2837]

live the cat also

[@LILNEWYORK10000000]

The Pursuit center is a beautiful fishing boat, very comfortable and takes the water like a champ. Love your videos dude. I'm from Brooklyn and was in your area this weekend looking out the window of the Trop talking about that big Tog you caught this season. I grew up on a tog charter my uncle was the capt of the pilot out of sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. Great job! Keepem coming. 💪🏼⚓ 🎣

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

[@jfad4940]

Great Fishing!!!!

[@keithmcgrath5586]

Awesome video man. In regards to boat prices, i hope they go down so i can upgrade to something bigger one day. From economic point of view, people are financing these boats for 15/20 years at low rates. Treasury rates are up and fed is expected to increase interest rate couple times this year. All in all, I’d expect demand to cool as rates creep up, but who the hell knows.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for the info Keith!! THanks for watching!

[@codyfegely8414]

Bro stop it you're making me jealous we didn't keep the boat in 😭. And another awesome video from you Chris

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks as always Cody!

[@anglerissues2309]

Your right, the market is insane, sold my 3 year old mako for more than I paid for it, but paid a lot for my new (to me) Parker 2320. Hope to See ya on the water this summer 👍

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yea man it's nuts!

[@SneakyPeteNJ]

I thought you were going to a maycraft pilot house. GL in your search. Not much out there locally

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Nah. No pilot house. CC all the way. Thanks as always for watching Pete!

[@miggss457]

Great video man

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

THanks so much

[@mattf8736]

Get one of the 23 sea crafts with the pilot house. Perfect mid shore / light offshore machine that’s a classic.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for the info. I do like the 23 Sea Craft.

[@gabetedino2879]

Awesome

[@BigTomJeff]

Hey man I ain’t far out of AC see you out there some time

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

I'll see you around!!

[@alwaysbentfishing]

Awesome video!! We’re just south of ya‘ll in Ocean City Maryland! We just dropped a new video from fishing last night 1/25/22 can’t believe we caught what we did was insane!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

THanks for watching. I'll check it out!!

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Great video Capt! I agree time to step up to a larger boat with a full transom.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much Mike. I'm gonna try and keep everyone posted

[@robertpizzella3035]

Awesome 👍

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much!

[@dylann.8773]

I would check out the Conch 27. It’s awesome

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yea they're so nice. Just pricey!

[@trancemusic8805]

latitude tournament boats are the shit. i would highly recommend them

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Cool. Thanks so much Trance!

[@andrewehala8337]

Went out on a party boat on 12/29 with my dad. Fished IBSP and we combined for 40 fish! It was a savage striper bite this winter!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

That's awesome Andrew. Thanks so much for watching!

[@MsJon52]

just a matter of interest, when the bass are boiling on the surface, would a freelined live crab do any good? just a thought. a thought about the new boat, do what your gut tells you if you do not you will always wonder what if I did buy the bigger boat.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

I wouldn't think so Jon. This day they were so keyed in on the adult bunker. Thanks for the input on the new boat. I'll try and keep everyone posted

[@therodfather2121]

Hey brother can you give suggestions on Rod and reel trolling combos, as well as your top 5 favorite lures or rigs to troll for striped bass? Thanks

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Really easy combo that doesn't break the bank. I have a few of these. Didn't spend a ton because I only troll for bass about 6 times a year if that. Shimano TLD 20. Tsunami Rod TSTBC661H or similiar. My top lures when trolling mojos are really simple. Go back to my very first few videos and you'll see. I use mojos first as described in those videos (even show you how to rig them). This is when they are feeding on adult bunker. If not I use umbrella rigs from 9ers lures either shad or tubes but mostly tubes when they are keyed in to sand eels. If you watch my trolling for striper vids it will help you understand why I choose the pattern. Most important thing by far is to be in right place at right time. Either match a bunker or sand eel/rain bait pattern and you'll get em every time.

[@therodfather2121]

@@reaperfishingnj8623 Thank you brother I appreciate it

[@controlcam820]

We caught Some big Cod with pollack mixed in also biting now on the deep wrecks

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

That's awesome. I really wanna do a cod trip someday

[@angryjay06]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Was just at the inlet last Tuesday. How far out are they now this week. I only have a little inflatable with a 20hp.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thank you so much for subscribing Jay!! They were right. on the 3 mile line about 8-9 miles north the other day

[@michaell5933]

I would love to know when you are selling the little boat

[@bitenbass]

Nice fish bro

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much!

[@vvk2837]

I just started into fishing and going buy my first boat. what type of reel and did you use wire or braided lines.. nj central here

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Braided line. In this video i'm using an Avet S5.3 (the silver conventional) and the spinning reel is Penn 4500. The trolling reels are Shimano TLD's

[@1254prod_]

friggin toads

[@carsondodd3515]

Rod and reel combo when you were jigging the stripers?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

nothing special. spinning rod was penn 4500 spinfisher on a cheap tsunami rod. The conventional was my togging setup. Avet SXJ 5.3 on a custom Lamiglass blank

[@chriscorbett5255]

Hey Chris , I’m looking to get trolling motor for my 18’ ,what size is your ulterra.

[@nicksim45]

How’s the hand ? Healed up pretty good ?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yea man all good. Took just a day or two and I was just fine.

[@IFeelfishy]

Pair custom, Its the old Sea OX. They had to change their name (from what i was told)

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Ooh!! Thanks for the heads up. Didn't even know Pair existed!!

[@KenpInmd]

Check out the Judge 265 CC - custom built - built to fish and is rock solid.. I have one.. fish the OC bay nonstop and have been out to the Hotdog chunking and all points in between.. Many guys i know take it to the canyons - I haven't yet - but I'm sure I will - one of the best boats you are going to find

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Will do Ken. Thanks for the heads up.

[@PhillyMoe-s4m]

Hey Reaper do u take people out fishing?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Just close friends and family

[@andyroark2159]

Check out a 246 Wellcraft center consol boat. I have one and love it!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Cool. Thanks Andy!

[@mattbergan939]

How does the Evinrude treat you?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

That thing has been awesome!!! Not even a hiccup after five years

[@oldguyfishing]

Good time

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@bill-nj6fc]

tell you what have no clue why , but ever time i fish the bays around ac and out front of the beach i never catch a darn thing i do everthing everone says to do and use , still nothing, to me it just sucks to fish down there .

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

sorry to hear Mako. Keep at it. I promise you'll get em. Look for the promising signs and fish them hard

[@slogan9105]

I’ll be on the beach

[@mbtornado2476]

Wow!!! you destroyed the fish today!!!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yes, thanks

[@mg3127]

[@thomasstreahle2793]

On the tandem mojos, you're running the heavier on the shorter leader?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yup. Look at one of my first videos ever.......I go over how to build the rigs and then in part 2 how we run/deploy them.

[@adammichalski8803]

Could you do a video on catching crabs?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

What kinda crabs?

[@dylann.8773]

You gotta try the flutter spoons

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Of course I had a bunch in the truck!

[@smokster0604]

The sky was full of scales and tails....

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Ha!!

[@joehenry447]

It makes me sick watching you guys catching and releasing those nice stripers . I would sure like to have a boat big enough to go out and try to catch those strpers .

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

I enjoy catch and release and they aren't my favorite to eat

[@donkzilla73]

Chris.. How do I get a reaper yeti?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

We don't have those for purchase just yet. My buds got that for me.

[@theavrgfisherman]

You can target striper after the season ends just saving you from the cops

[@Niko-iq8bc]

Why don’t you keep them?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Stripers are not my favorite fish to eat.

[@jasonsokol5803]

Check out Dusky boats too

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Will do. Thanks!

[@steveguyett384]

They make good tacos

[@yepyep340]

With more people getting the jab the less uncertainty in the economy. The more certain people are the more disposable income they will have to spend. Fuel is a business expense, if you have a good accountant, and she says boats is advertising expense. So lets see what the Supreme Court says about the mandates. Never got a "stimulus check" but did get a disaster relief check because covid. Life is to short. One thing I know is certain Capt. Kris will be on the seas and legit!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Darn right i'll be out there Bert. Aint nothing stopping us. Thanks as always for watching and thanks for the input

[@steveguyett384]

Go to macdonalds

[@terrycraig4859]

Have a 23 mako I’m selling if you want, let me know

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

send me the details Terry. [e-mail]
