Fishing guide Mike Rasmussen is no stranger to landing monster striped bass on the Sacramento River, but even for him, the hour of fishing he saw the night of February 8 was extraordinary. Rasmussen was guiding his client Tim Rojoski that night when they landed not one, but two 40 pound striped bass.

They began the hour with a 48 inch, 40 pound plus striped bass that was a sight to see:

Then, they doubled down on the evening with another 40 pounder in the same hour, this one measuring in at 45 inches:

And to add to the awesome fishing story, they released the beautiful beasts back into the river:

What a night! That’s quite the haul for any fishermen and the perfect testament to the hogs sitting in our beautiful Sacramento River.
