A striped bass caught during deep sea jigging, trolling, and heavy tackle fishing in Atlantic City, NJ

The boat rocks gently on the waves. Fishing rods line the railings. A fisherman casts his line into the deep blue water. The sun glints off the surface. In the distance a striped bass leaps. Its silvery scales shimmer in the light. The fisherman tenses ready for action. The line goes taut. The fight begins. Man versus fish in an age-old battle. The bass thrashes and dives. The fisherman reels steadily. Slowly the fish tires. At last it breaks the surface. A net scoops it up. Victory for the angler. A perfect catch on a perfect day.
