First Striper / Rockfish! - allingeneral - 04-23-2008
It's been a long time coming. I've heard about monster stripers since I was a kid. I finally got one this past weekend. It was 27lbs and 40 inches long. Not a record by any means, but certainly respectable!

Once the inline box is checked, then you can load the actual picture by clicking on the "create link" button.

My Wife and I love Stripped Bass fishing, we only get to fish for them in freshwater below Hoover Dam, they get to 70+ lbs and our biggest is 42. Sure want to try saltwater fishing for them.Probably a great fight being they are in current all the time.

70 pounds good golly! lol
We were dragging 8 lines with planer boards, so couldn't stop the boat to pull the fish in...still trolling at about 2mph while pulling this fish in, so I couldn't feel much of the fight. It was a tough pull though!
