Ryan first went on a Striper/Hybrid trip with me year before last. We had a great day on Tims Ford Lake trolling Urigs highlighted by two 18 pound stripers and many smaller ones. That hooked him. Ryan really started pursuing the fish and finally sold his Fountain pleasure boat and his Bass Tracker. He ordered this new Sea Pro with everything on it for Striper and Hybrid fishing. He will end up adding down riggers and a filtered bait tank eventually. Many of us Striper fishermen started out crappie fishing and bass fishing and made the switch to the fish with linesides. Ryan even had a Striper tattooed on his right shoulder. I draw the line at that point! It is great to see someone as excited about the sport as Ryan has become!
