Gsp 2/1
Well, got up before the crack of dawn. Fished alongside 4 other kayaks and 3 boats at "the bar" for 3 1/2 hrs. I fished jigs, topwaters, swimbaits, and a crank bait. Saw 2 other fish caught. Never saw any fish bust the surface except a few way way back. Then I got my one and only bite of the morning. A light tap turned into the line screaming off my reel. About 5 minutes and what felt like 200 yards of line later, landed my biggest kayak fish to date. This 22 lb striper! One bite can change everything!

Congratulations on that Beast! Were you able to keep him out in front of you? Or did he get under the barrier at all?

He went under twice, but he was pretty wore out already. Upon hookset, he ran about a quarter mile towards the steam plant. Lol

Very nice! It only takes one of those to make it all worth it. I almost went this afternoon but opted for some post season deer scouting on my lease.
