A 33-1/2-pound striped bass
from the surf
at Lavallette on Nov. 8
just before dark on a
Tsunami swim shad. Photo
from Murphy’s Hook House,
Toms River. The angler had
been snagging bunker and
livelining them for bait.
Nothing bit, so he tied
on the shad. The surf
fishing didn't see to be
peaking yet, but a few
throwbacks and sometimes
a big keeper began
to be beached.
