trolled this 41-pound
44-inch striped bass on
the ocean off Long Branch,
just inside of 3 miles
from the coast, on June 16 on
a Tony Maja spoon.

That might end up being
the season's final photo of

The fishing typically drops off
by mid-June, when the migration
has mostly swum north
for cooler water.
