While giant "cow" stripers are caught pretty regularly from the beach by plug and bait fishermen, it's actually pretty rare for a fly fishermen to catch these fish. Of course it does happen, guys like Ed Mitchell, Lou tabory, or Bob Popovics can certainly nail 'em....but if you spend enough time at the shore with the long rod, esp when fishing in the company of bait and spin guys, you know that FFers really have to work for big fish. This is especially true from the beach.
Anyway, here's a photo of fly tying innovator and Jersey shore legend Bob Popovics with a recently caught cow that weighed over thirty pounds - and yes, obviously caught from the beach. For many of us, this would be the fly caught bass of a lifetime. Maybe not for Bob, but I'm sure he's right proud of it.
