Ray Family Striper and Sturgeon bycatch

Capt Greg and Richard had the Ray family out for a day of stripers. On our first cast net throw we were surprised to see a very large sturgeon caught by the fin on the outside of the net. It was released quickly and kept in the water- a fish I have been hoping to see up close and personal at some point in my life. See video for the clean release! 

Made our bait and proceeded to have a solid pick of stripers for the first time live liners with a couple of bluefish in the mix. Beautiful weather, a pleasant surprise while cast netting, and great fishing made for an enjoyable day. Thanks guys!
