Do you eat Striper?

[MNfisher]

Great eating fish! But I honestly do like the 17-20" hybrids and 20-24" striper better than the big ones. I had a 17 lber engulf a Redfin this summer. Back trebles right in the gills. After the battle, several gills torn and it wouldn't even try to swim. I ate it and while still good, i prefer the 3-5 lbers. Just my opinion.

I agree with midtnkayakangler. If a fish has made it to 10 years or even older. I let her go, just as fun as catching watching a giant swim away gently from your hands!

Thanks for all the great input fellas. I pulled up YouTube and checked out that redmeat and how to remove it. Looks like it can be pretty thick. One of these days I'll keep one and try it. I do like my fillets a little bit thinner no matter what fish I have. Thanks again Dakota.

Dakota you can butterfly those filets in half to thin them out like you would a chicken breast, Makes cooking them a lot easier too because the thinner filets are easier to manage

they are really good out of cold water
