Question (Fishing Related) Private Fish Tank With Stripe Bass and Bluefish

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everyone, figured I give it a shot here. I remember I came across a video where someone had a giant fish tank in his house. In the tank he had lots of stripebass/bluefish/fluke all native fish from here in New York. I cant find the video, it was like a tour of his house or something like that. I know its a long shot, but maybe someone on here has seen the video. Looking to see it again.

DEC better get over there
They are not slot size fish!

LOL if you call the office they do offer aquarium specimen permits.

I never knew you could get aquarium permits for bass

I used to do some work at Coney Island Aquarium and they had a striped bass surge tank display

Long narrow tank about 4’ deep that had a sand beach lip at one end
A Carlson surge would push across the tank n up the lip

Bass would sit sideways in 6 inches waiting to eat
As soon as I opened door to access display the fish knew it was time to eat
They couldn’t see me but I think the pressure change when the door opened triggered their feeding response

As soon as the door cracked open I could hear air rush out of room and they would be in full on blitz mode

It was sick
I miss that display

Lol, I always wanted to turn it into SPS surge reef though
