At the beginning, we caught a lot of good size fish between 70 (28 in) and 80 cm (32 in). I knew there was some big fish over 90cm (35 in), so I tied on my biggest fly in the box, cast it, let it drop to the bottom, stripped it in slowly and bang! This fish hit my fly like a bullet, it was complete insanity! After a good fight, I had the chance to put my hand on this striped bass and measure him, 92 cm (36.5 in) of pure joy. I let him go back where he’s from and our trip was complete!
