While some anglers are experiencing the best big striped bass fishing of their lives the science tells a more complicated story. In this episode, Ben Gahagan and Micah Dean of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries talk about the state of the striped bass population, what stripers need to spawn successfully, and the results of a new study on catch-and-release fishing for striped bass.

In February 1975, Walter Bolonis caught a 15-pound largemouth bass through the ice in Southeastern Massachusetts, setting a seemingly unbreakable state record. Yet, many questions surround this catch, questions that professional bass fisherman and podcaster Mark Burgess of Big East Bass Fishing has been trying to answer.

In this episode, Jimmy and Cheech sit down with Mark and discuss what it's like being a pro bass angler from Massachusetts, the story behind that 15-pound bass, and whether or not it could ever be broken legitimately.
