It all started with a text from Zach Lesinski of 2020 Sky Sight Productions, asking if I wanted to do some fishing and drone filming.
48 hours later I stumbled across a huge concentration of large striped bass while performing recon onboard my boat the Miss Loretta.
I immediately messaged Zach and told him we should meet at sunrise the very next day. Zach happily agreed, and at 6am he stepped onboard with drone in hand.
Soon Zach had launched the drone, and on our second drift my dad Jake hooked up with what would turn out to be the largest striped bass of our season.​

Incredibly Zach was able to capture the entire experience on video using his drone, which you can watch by clicking play below.
Special thanks to Zach from 2020 Sky Sight for an amazing job filming this video. I look forward to capturing many more fishing adventures on drone with help from Zach.
I encourage you to like 2020 Sky Sight on Facebook for more professional (and 100% legal) aerial videos and photos of Cape Cod & the Islands.
While watching the above video you may have noticed I cropped out the background scenery. I did this because I want to share this video on Facebook and I expect it to be viewed by many hundreds of people.
Members of My Fishing Cape Cod can access the full non-cropped version of the above video by clicking the orange button below.
Cool view of a great catch ! Congrats Jake and Ryan, away from the crowds.
Thanks Mark! I love the aerial view. Zach did a great job.
That is awesome footage! Were you marking a lot of fish when you hooked up on that one?
Notice you had the handline…any luck?
Good luck landing a giant this weekend!
Yes we had fish all over the sounder when we hooked that one.
I did catch a fish on the handline but it was a schoolie. Go figure! 44 pounders and small schoolies all traveling together.
No tuna caught at PEI but we had giants crashing around the boat and swimming beneath the boat on the sounder. Several boats around us also hooked up, just didn’t happen for us but we’ll try again.
Great job Zack and Ryan. I am blessed to hang with this young crowd. Seniors get off the couch and live life. Go fish.
Amen!
Great job..
Big Cow
There sure are some beauties swimming around out there.
Awsome footage Ryan! I’m going with my dad to Block Island Saturday
Good luck Mike!
The fishing at BI was pretty good recently for one of our members Jeff Richard > https://myfishingcapecod.com/best-night-of-fishing-ev-er-block-island/
Tight lines!
That was riveting. How’s that 44 lber rank for your dad?
Jim, that’s definitely the biggest striper my dad has ever caught!
That’s awesome!
Nice one. Caught an identical 44 last week myself
Nice James, lots of big boys around right now. My friend got a 51 pounder last week, which I had the opportunity of measuring and weighing. Impressive seeing a fish that big in person.
Nice job…love the drone “view”….
Thanks David, my Dad and Zach did a great job.
Ryan,
What will you think of next? The blog is something I look forward to because of your creativity. Well done! Did you release her?
Unfortunately, seeing the background didn’t help me as I am out of Plymouth.
