Running the Coast: 1,000 miles with the Striped Bass migration.

"Thank god for this movie!" -Greg Myerson, IGFA striped bass world record holder
THE PLANET’S BIGGEST NATURAL MIGRATION STILL REMAINS VERY MUCH A MYSTERY TO US ALL.
MAYBE THAT’S WHY WE JUST CAN’T STOP FOLLOWING.

America’s Striped bass ranges thousands of miles to get to our back doors, and has seduced inhabitants of North America for a millennia. Now, in a world with more complicated threats than just a hook thrown from shore, they persevere on. The only fish willing to meet us in deep oceans, shallow estuaries, sand flats, island beaches, ponds, rivers, stormy waves and jetties is an angling hero. She moves under dark rocks at midnight, on white flats to challenge a fly rod and light tackle, and island currents for boats with manic captains. With beauty, strength, aggression and abandon she meets us on her journey, and only asks that we work as hard to find her as she does to migrate up and down the North American coast. There is not just one way to catch her, and that’s what makes her special. The more we realize that, the more we can join together and help save her to ensure even higher numbers make our children stay up at night dreaming about how to track her down.
