Had a great day on the water with Captain Mark Galasso, live lining spot for striped bass. We were on the fish all day.

Fished a club tournament on the Upper Bay out of Havre de Grace, MD on the hottest day of the year - 102 degrees and humid! The bite was difficult for most of the day. While I caught lots of bass, most were too short to keep. With 40 minutes left before weigh-in, I moved to a flat with flooded timber and hydrilla. I caught my 5-fish limit in 5 minutes off of a single laydown on 6 casts. All of my fish came on a Texas-rigged Berkley Power Worm in blue fleck. I rigged the worm on Mustad's new Alpha-Point Series Alpha-Grip Finesse Hook (3/0), and I can honestly say that I never feared losing a single fish. That hook is simply amazing!
