Striped bass caught while deep-sea jigging, trolling, and using heavy and light tackle in clear weather conditions near Neptune City NJ

The sun glints off the waves. Seagulls circle overhead. The boat gently rocks. Fishing rods stand ready. A flash of silver breaks the surface. A striped bass leaps. The line goes taut. The fight begins. Muscles strain. The reel whirs. The fish dives deep. It runs left then right. Slowly it tires. The net dips. Success. A beautiful catch.
