Saturday marked my second trip this spring to the Chesapeake in search of trophy striped bass. We traveled in rain during most of our trip down but shortly after boarding the Afternoon Delight the rain quit. The first hit came shortly after the lines were in.
My friend Paul, pictured here with Captain Hank, did the honors fighting the first fish.
The dark threatening skies seen here soon settled over us pouring down a soaking rain until mid-day. As the morning progressed we had three more hook-up and a couple of pull downs. With one fish lost, we finished the day with three nice stripers in the box.

These men and the sea look like they can handle that little ol' sky!
Sounds like a fun trip!
Salty: Looks like a great fighter, the sky certainly looks threatning.
Ah, the Chesapeake - beautiful!
Threatening skies doesn't seem to have stopped a man in search of a trophy!
Captain Hank ( in red I assume) looks a little like the Gordon's fisherman :)
I love the action shot of catching the fish and it rained for me shortly after I took my photo as well.
Great shot ... I like fishing photos.
Totally threatening sky outhere... you must hurry to capture some fish...hehehehe.. so you guys wont get wet from the water that sky would sprinkle....
This is a great photo ... shows us some of the action of fishing and a set of threatning clouds!
