Va.Beach Striped bass World Championship

[Miles Offshore]

Results are in and the winner for this year was a 60 lb 4 oz slob caught by David Mc Custen of Suffolk Va. The Winning fish is worth around 5K this year based on entries. The fish was caught on a live eel at the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel where the bay season ended Dec 31st. The Ocean Season remains open until 31 March.I would estimate that 95% of all fish over 40" are being released with very few big fish being kept. Although there have been a couple other fish in excess of 50 lbs caught recently. The hogs are here with big fish still moving out of the chesapeake bay. craig
