Fathers Day

Capt Ken Jones of Kenjo Flies asked me to fish on fathers day with him and his dad on sweatpea. We hit our usual spots and there wasnt much going on so we went south looking for warmer water and some possible tuna action. As we headed west back towards NJ we found the motherload of bunker schools. Schools so big it looked like a never ending river of bunker. With the occasional blowup on the bunker we chased these fish for miles. When bait is that plentiful it can definately be tough getting fish to eat your offering. It was only fitting that Kens father hooked the new record fish for the boat. The bass bottomed out the 30lb boga. After a few pictures she was put back in the water and swam away nice and strong. Putting these breeding size fish back to see another day is more important than ever with the amount of pressure put on these fish. It was another great down out on the water and an honor to share the memories are boating that large bass with ken and his dad. Enjoy the pics!
