My last day fishing in New England I launched my kayak in the Boston Harbor in pursuit of XL striped bass lurking around their summering grounds.

Good stuff . Go a little larger on the hook . Also when you come tight you still have to set hard . Big fish tough mouths .
A lot happening in this vid, from that one that chased the bait up to the yak it was huge. Then the whale breaching just grabbing mouth full of fish as it came out of the water, then you landing that monster, nice day of yak fishing. 👍 Your legs got a workout 💪
Lmfaooo bro saw u catch that hawg and IMMEDIATELY high tales it over to you hahaha
Tight work 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great video man! Those 2 mid 40” chasing the bunker up to the yak was absurd, I’d absolutely shit myself, hoping those cows make their way into the Chesapeake soon… seems like their terrorizing the Jersey coast right now, also that whale airing out next to you was insane!!
Best video yet. I was amazed of everything you did from your kayak. From catching the bait to hooking up your rig so fast. The bites you can tell were big fish, I didn’t mind that you only caught the one monster because I’m sure some of those bites were just as big. Then the whale , spectacular. What can I say , seeing that when you’re concentrating on your bite was great. Another great video, like I said, one of my best. Keep up your great work. You’re so passionate about fishing and what you do with your time that I’m sure your videos will only grow with viewers. Keep up the great work Dillion. I love watching them.
You need to give it some more time when they eat the Bunker. Great Video
Ah my favorite fish what up dill get em
Awesome striper! I'd guess 35 pounds as well. Curious to know how much that lobster roll set you back? I bought one after a fluke charter out of Point Pleasant this summer and it was 26 bucks!!
Dude those whale shots 🤯🤯🤯
I can’t stop watching, so good 🤩
Keep sending my friend, we appreciate you out here in YouTube land 🫡
7/0 isnt enough hook for adult bunker, up that to owner 10/0 you'll hook way more
epic.
So I was also loosing a lot of fish live bunker fishing, I was hooking through the mouth and nose but I believe the bunker is tougher there so it’s harder to pull the hook out and hit the bass. I started hooking mine through the back and had much better ratio
Did you get a new van staal?
Great action. Those whale shots were insane.
WOW!!!
At 3:55, wasn’t that the buoy in Jaws when the girl first got killed😂
You’ve put out a lot of great stuff. But I think this is my new favorite – thanks for sharing & great work! Sorry your hooks weren’t sticking. I use a bridle clip through the nostrils and a large free swinging circle hook when I’m live lining big bunker. But congratulations on your kayak PB striper – beautiful fish! The view from your kayak was incredible-especially the humpback whales scooping up big gulps of bunker. Safe travels and tight lines.
Great video one tip just let it eat it for longer anyways I thought u we’re fishing New Jersey as soon as u launched I new were u were I fished that from shore in july Boston harbor was insane this year bunch of monsters I caught great video
Yeah buddy!!!!
Молодец! Ты отличный рыбак!
Use 9 or 10/0 it makes a huge difference when it comes to those big fish. That bigger gap is really helpful
bro i live bait for bunker to n the key for good hookups you need a live bait bridal in between the eyes that hook up ratios are amazing
He's getting hotter by the day!
44 inch still small , 46 inch big different size, work better cut bait in half
Went to Island Beach State Park two days ago where you guided me for fluke this summer (first parking lot). Lots of boats off the shore, lots of surf fisherman and no wind. Unfortunately, no bass. Did not see a single one caught all morning. Turns out they killed them on Tuesday, but nada on Wed.
16:15 that's probably too small of a radius to be a shark. there were good sized blues in boston harbor this fall. probably just missed a giant. they bite the tail like that.
8:36 those are two very good sized bass…
Its not very human to snag bait fish
wow dillion i laugh with every video you put out, because im amazed at how fast time is flyin by, i found your videos looking for a place to fish in jersey for a short vacation, heres this little kid on his bike lookin for hot spots with a few hundred or so subscribers now you are turning into a top notch fishing video guru. over 50k now. can't sit in one spot too long either you are getting around and making a name for yourself online without doing collabs with the big channels. keep it up kid you will be a worth a million in no time. doin what you love to do.
What kind of kayak do you have?And do you highly recommended it?
FIRE!!!
