Never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Take good care of those big girls. You have the future of the species in your hands.

[@Dat_Van]

One of the most underrated anglers in the industry. Amazing work!

[@basskicking4532]

Great fishing bud! I am a short span viewer but I watched your entire video. Thanks

[@JerkbaitPro]

Couldn’t BELIEVE you weren’t a full time KZbinr from content like this! Keep killing it Bro!

[@rodneyfritzinger1658]

I admire your dedication. You put in the time in tough weather when 99.99% of anglers wouldn’t even go outside let alone go fishing. Keep these kick ass striper videos coming!

[@Jarretstandard]

Fantastic fishing skills, cousin! It's clear you all know what you're doing out there. Keep up the great work and here's to many more successful fishing trips!

[@Takeakidfishin]

PHENOMENAL FOOTAGE, BATTLES AND CATCHES, AMAZING CONGRATS!!! More importantly is your COMPASSION and EFFORTS for successful RELEASES, WELL DONE brother!!!

[@charliefishin]

Absolute banger of a vid! So underrated!!

[@portalmasterry6765]

Beautiful fish! Congrats on the catch!

[@watersedgetv]

What an incredible video. The time and effort you put into this content reflects the love and passion you have for chasing this species. Keep doing big things!

[@LandskiffOutdoors]

Sheesh these people are getting mad at you for filming a kick ass video (killer edit BTW) that a Florida dude like me gets to watch and experience the beauty of that fishery and landscape that I live nowhere near and may never fish, so for that I thank you 🤘 lol there’s no “secret” spots left in FL and our fisheries are reasonably healthy I think so don’t trip dude. Love your vids and you’re funny as hell when you get stoked on a fish 😂 keep on keepin on

[@paulfitzpatrick6202]

Wow i am stunned, what a great video. You are the man.

[@davidortega1365]

That was an incredible video! Your passion and dedication to the sport are evident and really comes through. Those stripers you caught are unbelievable! Congrats on an epic adventure. I was blown away!! Definitely one of the best videos you've put together!! Lets' go!!!!!!!

[@fredriksarnblad4441]

You're as crazy as I am, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Great video, awesome catches!

Not only was it a giant but it fought like a giant! Congrats!

Absolute slobs! Great video and editing man. I can only hope to catch some of those up here in MA this season. You did great handling and returning those beautiful fish back quickly too. Keep it up!

Great video Ethan. I watched the video and I still don't know where this specific area is. Don't let these haters get to you. Keep it up brother! "Dude, please grab the fish! Son of a buck, Graham!" 😂

[@MTDion]

The primary catch in this location was caught near “Snake Island” at coordinates: (39.6073320, -76.1355073) [N, W] but the route spans from Havre de Grave lighthouse to Conowingo Park on the Susquehanna River in MD.

[@andyslaybids]

@@MTDion Very cool, thanks for sharing!

[@scottmetal]

Cowwwwwwssssss

[@theodumas2401]

Think about how much easier it would be to catch a world record class fish on a fly rod in this type of water versus open ocean. I wonder if anyone has really tried?

[@sparkyfn3629]

if your catching them that big in april your def in virginia back waters where they spawn

[@matthewlong2981]

If you’re from Md or Va you know this spot.

[@MTDion]

Virginia backwaters? What a pathetic attempt to smear this angler with the blatant falsity that he is fishing a spawning area. This is obviously (39.6073320, -76.1355073) [N, W] on the Susquehanna from Havre de Grace to Conowingo Park. Most people know as “matthewlong” pointed out.

[@zackystickzz44]

Nice fish! These clowns in the comments are hating because they fish this area and cant catch 💩🤣

I’ve caught hundreds of these cows here long before this dip shit showed up.

[@verifying.]

@@SwampDonkey07aww yay i’m proud of you

[@ChrisMcIntee]

actually they know that anyone could catch here, and dont like to see it blasted online knowing it will just be more crowded in the future. vids like this are what gives fishing youtubers a bad rap, anyone could make this vid, but they dont because they respect the fish, the location, and the other fishermen. to post this is a dis to all 3

Great job! You can tell by all the jealous haters and their crazy comments.

[@SwampDonkey07]

The point is we’ve all been doing this long before this clown and his side show all decided to show up. We just don’t talk about it. Now it’s on the internet for the world to see and it’s ruined. You would never see people out there. Now thanks to social media everyone knows and it’s being exploited for views on the internet

[@MTDion]

What a name, anyway I posted a longer comment so I won’t copy paste here but the primary catch was at Snake Island at (39.6073320, -76.1355073) [N, W] on the Susquehanna River from Havre de Grace to ~Conowingo Park span.

[@rightinsideleftistmiasma2975]

Unreal he’d post this. Striper fishing is absolutely over, wow. Batista initiated the place’s downfall last year, and it cascaded from there. The bass a person would catch used to be a reflection of their perseverance, grit, and knowledge, but now it’s just a reflection of social networks and media presence. With everyone catching trophies, they aren’t trophies. They’ve been relegated to the level of catfish

[@emretheturk7]

Exactly what I was thinking absolutely mind boggling how people can do this to their own local fisheries knowing the risk and consequences

Only a few spots burned to smithereens in this video… typical GoPro fisherman w no respect for the sport lol

[@grantd.5438]

I am not really sure what value this video returns to our Striped Bass fishery or fellow anglers. Getting folks outside and fired up to fish is fantastic, but what other ways can you inspire this with less impact and cost? You may think "well this area is no secret, it is fine!", however you are missing all the impacts of influenced pressure to those locations (heavier pressure on breeding age fish, tons of trash, congestion on the water body, novice folks doing dangerous stuff without cold water protection...etc etc). You are a great angler, but you need to be in touch with the balance of sharing your message through video entertainment vs a lasting positive impact on the fishing community. When we are gone, there will still be new fishing videos, there will be people catching bigger and more fish....how will you leave your legacy and how do you define impact? Tight lines.

[@zackystickzz44]

What's the problem? All I watched was someone with a passion for fishing catching big fish? let me guess....you fish at this spot.

[@trentraymond9622]

[@grantd.5438]

@@zackystickzz44 its not about me, not about a spot, its about fisheries, species, and the joy we all find in fishing. My comment is emphasizing the importance of ensuring we are doing our part to guarantee future generations have the same opportunities that we have. I am not commenting with selfish intent or jealously lol and it truly is an epic video and a great display of fantastic angling, but at the end of the day it definitely comes at a cost. It may not be but a few views now, but thousands later, and maybe millions knowing this guys reputation, but there is 100% a negative cost to this which is difficult to reverse the dial on afterwards. To inspire others to chase their passions and push themselves is fantastic, but there is more than one medium and way to do this.

[@trentraymond9622]

@@grantd.5438 what exactly is he doing wrong? You follow other fishing KZbinrs who do the same thing he’s doing. Do you comment the same thing on their videos? He’s practicing catch and release while handling them properly….
