Rough Water Bassin' | Live eel striped bass fishing Rhode Island

Despite a not so great forecast I managed a few bass around Block Island on live eels.
No monsters this trip, but I was happy to get out and fish.

Block Island offers world class striped bass fishing in July and August.

For anyone new to watching this channel these are a couple local rock star fisherman here. Found it this season myself can't believe it doesn't have more subs than it does. Great content all business every vid, no B/S to waste your time with. Find myself binge watching several to get caught up on the content. Don't want to burn thru too many as I know you'll be in the deer stand soon and it may be a while to get my fix of new fishing content.
You've developed some serious sea legs my friend. I'd prob be up against those combing cushions in conditions like that. Thx for all the effort you put in to create this content and channel.

That last fish was an absolute MOOSE. Love it

That was really nautical I thought you were gonna get swamped a couple times! 😮 Those were some awesome bass man!! Your a good fisherman, you did a pro job with the rod and the one hand net deal! That was a clinic on how to land big bass, in gnarly water, all alone! I see why you use that compact heavy musky rod, you can put the boots on those big bass but also able to pull off that net/rod combo move!! Keep em tight brother 🎣🎣

I was out there that same morning and saw you out there. I was like wait, isn’t that RI Sport Fishing? It was on fire, only caught one fish under 40lbs and we had one 50lb+ fish.

That ledge can get nasty. Think you made a good call stayin "in". Offshore was prob brutal. Nice trip.

I’ve had about 5 30-40lbs fish chomped by sharks! Sharks eating out stripers…. Something for the conservationists to consider

I don't think you have enough gold reels by the looks of it.

[Peter-zgem]

in moving water like that you only need to keep the fish upright. guys will troll the fish at a low idle but it's not needed for a low speed fish like the striped bass. she will rest basically in place once she swims away and finds a safe spot. all the water you need is flowing over the gills in that kind of chop and there's plenty of o2 at those temperatures.

You're one helluva fisherman! Excellent singlehanded landings. You called the worstening conditions "sporty". Looked more like KNARLY! 4 to 6 ft. seas or bigger. All really nice fish.
