It’s been just over a year to the day since Jeff Fortin caught a 65-pound striped bass in Buzzards Bay, so on Monday morning we decided to join him at the west end of the Cape Cod Canal to see what was going on.

Capt. Dave Peros was fishing with Barney Keezell down the Elizabeth’s on Monday morning before stumbling across a decomposing right whale washed up on Nashawena Island.
