Capt Mike reports non-stop stop rod bending action all afternoon on the Viking Star! Black Sea Bass were certainly the stars of the trip this afternoon, with most anglers landing a couple keeper each making for a lot of Bass in the buckets.

Overall, there was a lot of action and plenty of fish for everyone to go home with. The pool winner went to Joe Coppola from East Meadow, NY with a 3 lb SeaBass
