View Full Version : My DVL "baby monster Striper" w/dropshotman!

So the story goes...Still the Jewel, minus the big holdovers...so far.

Was out looking for the killers of DVL fish- Stripers! While getting the Castaic striper fiend blood imbeded in me, I decided to take advantage of the storms going- and called up dropshot man to see if he was in- Game on.

Water level low, work on ramp- great!


We got to the tackle/lake by 1130am, in the water by 1201pm- got the usual rental, minus fish finder :Wink:, and got some good insight from FA, and called up uncle B and Trolly to let em know what was up. FA says do it, its "your day", and more...Uncle B says do it, and why were we playing in his "other" home lol *ps while killlin it at mammoth*, and Trolly thinks i was crazy (king of the cats slayer, the vine)-yada yada from the buddies-lol,,


Get to tossin/pullin DSM's lure- Gets slammed, feels like a tree trunk- i tell whit to hold it while i back the boat up to "save" his lure design... I say its a tree trunk, and he says.....it feels like...a huge...he gave me my rod back as we gained line on it...i told DSM, if its a tree trunk, its coming in-- then i see the side...@#$^ grab the net, its big! After a few solid runs, tired it out, and DSM did the net duties- put er in the boat!

23 1/4lbs fresh on the rapala scale (actually read fail at first)
got to the tackle at the end of day (fish barely fit in the bass bait tank) and weighed it at the tackle shop-after spitting out handloads of shad-and other goodies... 17.9lbs

this is my personal best- and a fight of all fights in the fresh so far...thinkin of doing somethin with it (Bob/T.O. had good idea of measuring it, thanks!)-

36" (just over 3' length)
24 3/4" girth
8" width tail
8 3/4" mouth to gill plate end

Thanks DSM (dropshotman) for doing the better 1/2 and netting this trout+more, killin monster! lol,,,

BLOOOOOD- i shall return


(photos coming...)



,,,,,,,,,dont worry, we will have some more trout trolling out there very soon, and some real striper killers coming around to thin them out,,,,,,,,,,bob

To Kewly- Great picture of that monster. Congrats on your PB at the Jewel. There's more of those monsters out there for you and the crew to take care of. While we're waiting for the holdovers to come up, keep on catching those stripers. There's a bunch of 30 lbers out by the I/O Tower. Can't wait to get back into some of those big holdovers. See you on the water with the crew really soon!

Barry A. Ogawa Hey Barry- Thanks! We're gona try and "thin out" the pop, so the holdies can come out to play again! lol- We ran the lake to find the fish, i heard that spot produced, but nothing there yesterday. Sure they're tryna terrorize all species in the lake at that size...Deff diff than pullin in a 7lb holdover!


wtf.....niiiiiiiice:EyePop:thanks-


godd dane i gotta catch me one of those get out there and get er done- saw some shore anglers getting some on the sidehill by the docks

So, where do we get these DSM lures?

If that is a "baby monster" I'd hate to see a monster. Did you get a raffle ticket from the marina store? I carry a stringer with me at DVL now. Those big striper units don't fit in those little shoe box live/dead wells. I just drag the Striper around on the side of the boat and usually forget to bring it in whenever we run to a new spot.

I had no idea you got that fish until you sent me the text. I had to check it out at work and couldn't beleive it, that thing is a giant.
See you this weekend for more details.

Kewlwhip... That's definitely a trophy fish worthy of being mounted! Big Stripers make a great mount. If you have it done, make sure you get a fiberglass reproduction molded from your fish. By the way, what size and brand of line were you using?

There gonna be some big stripers coming out once the trout stocking starts!

wow thanx for the phone up dates right when u caught it. never caught one that big. wow again. see you saturday.Right on thanks Trolly- reminded me of you and Terrys BIG cat a few winters back-


That's a nice one!



So, where do we get these DSM lures? thanks fishinone- hit up dropshopman :Wink:

huskerrodright on, thanks! I did get a raffle ticket for sure- this thing was a live for a minute!


Time on the water sure pays off specially a day like yesterday.
Nice moster you got there Kewly:Worship::OMG!:
Sean Whats up- yes time out in the water does pay off- dvl was a great spot for holdovers, and maybe by thinning these monsters out- they'll come out to play again.


I'm stoked for ya kewly!! You deserve it!! We need to hit castaic on my boat. Holler!! thanks mav- probably in a few weeks, i'll hit ya up!


damn dude nice fish. I was out there yesterday but didnt have near the luck that you did! way to go. i remember meeting you on that lake a long time ago when you were fishing for some holdover bows. CPRfisher- DVL has had great holdovers, and thats what a good handful of us guys were goin for. Ever since the introduction of stripers, the trout has declined...lots of talk on the boards about the changes, but the holdies are still out there.


Congrats on your pb at DV.thanks bud!


what did he do, wind it in for you??that was funny...read a bit and figure it out THROWBACK POWERANGER. Netting a big fish is 1/2 the battle, the other is the battle..i never forget the netman...that is part of the fun.


Kewlwhip that is amazing! Way to go Dude!:Thumbs Up::Thumbs Up:
I had no idea you got that fish until you sent me the text. I had to check it out at work and couldn't beleive it, that thing is a giant.
See you this weekend for more details. Hey Terry thanks- I thought of a handful of buddies to spread the word and you were one of them. It fought great~

thanks- like all the other striper lakes...should be good.

Yah,

When DVL re-opens to private boats we defintely need to organize a FNN event to thin the heard. THe FNN 1st Annual "Striper round-up". It will be a heated competition for second place. Behind TO!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the weigh in!!!!!

If any FNNers will be at DVL this Saturday (tomorrow) give me a heads up and we can just have a for fun competition. And you can even have any stripers I catch. My wife will not allow me to take them home...............sadly!!!! Not even to show off to the neighbor kids.
