Personal Best Striper
I too was one if the many to fish the steam plant today (I was in the Old Town Predator kayak). I was out this morning before the sun came up with a temperature of 29, and man was it worth it. Caught a few 16/17 inches then as Merv was pulling in I hooked a good one (well good to me). Since I don't fish for striper all the time I'm not equipped with heavy duty gear. Armed with 8lbs test line (props to yo-zuri hybrid ultra soft) and my 7 ft med heavy rod I was able to win the battle. It was a blast...he kept stripping line and my equipment held up (which is a testament to buying good gear). Weighed 21lbs on my boga, but didn't get a chance measure him. Probably average striper for most anglers, by far my biggest fresh water fish.
Nice to met a few other fishingtn angers today and thank you Merv for taking the picture (and offering up some advice). Now my goal is to beat my new personal best.
