The date was June 22, 2008 when Carl H. Heckman from Farmingdale NY, was fishing aboard the Fishfinder with Captain Walter Czekaj. They were fishing aboard the 10 pm to 3 am Striped Bass trip.They were fishing the Fire Island Inlet using live eels for bait. That was the winning ticket that cashed in on a 39 pound striped bass. Carl has made several trips on this boat this year and each time he has caught Stripers over 25 pounds and got his limit every time. Carl says that the Fishfinder is the best bass boat on the dock at Captree State Park. Last year Carl caught a 12 pound weakfish to see that picture click here.
