hit the duct... keep in mind everyone its been like 12 years since ive caught a striper and that one was like 14 inches and the only one ive ever caught, caught plenty of decent catfish but no love from the striper gods tilllllllll

again hit the duct around sundown, baited one pole with shad and tossed lures for a good while with absolutely no love...

decided to sit back and have a beer and catch upwith my buddy .. "set up the second rod for bait, tossed on bells and popped a beer out" soon after jingle..

very subtle, i was on top of it anyways,, jingle and slow pull so i set that sucka.. mild fight wasnt impressed but was excited maybe a STRIPER!!!

fight got better then pooped out... got it in and seen the size and species and then got nervous... lipped it and got it in.. 22 inch striper baby!!! broke my long running striper skunk and its a personal best...

calmed down threw him on a stringer "dont get to munch striper often only when my brother brings one around" and popped another beerski..

the lightest, queitest,, most gentle of a jingle... ran over and watched.. reminded me of all the tiny bluegill picking my nighcrawlers apart,, screw it ill pull.. SET THAT HOOK,, and bam its solid like i set into a tire but it moved... 3 seconds of tug and slack,,, gone.. rebait and walk to sit down other pole does the same gentle jingle i run back and watch, does it again so again i swing for the tire..

fight on, drag screaming, breaking in that cheapo diawa setup.. learning quick why u all love these fish so much, fight this guy for a while tighten the drag a little as i go cause he just keeps runnin... finally in and i lip it and run for the dirt... 24 inch striper heck ya

hour and a half goes by and nothing but a big stick tangles a line.. then major jingle... fight on like the last one, good battle and again brought to the thumb, 22.5 incher...

no love for my buddy but man all i hoped for was 1 of any size to beat the long lasting skunk,,

first fish personal best, second fish new personal best plus my first limit, 3rd my new personal best single trip 3 fish one trip

and that striper thumb you guys talk about,,, oh yeah its on both thumbs

checked the stomachs,, someone either had the first one stealing bait or they dumped a mess of cut anchovies in the water because it had 7 cut peices fairly fresh and a silverside, the second fish had a 5 inch catfish a few silversides/or/smelt, and a peice of a broken hook all rusted stuck in its insides and of course the shad i had on as bait

hoped i could put al the good lure tips to use but it just wasnt workin and once the beer got in me i didnt wanna mess with em,, bad shoulder and all that casting dont mix too well some nights

the 22 and 24 incher (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1148.snc4/149095_120011944729591_100001623593331_145299_4707 438_n.jpg)http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1148.snc4/149095_120011944729591_100001623593331_145299_4707 438_n.jpg

dead shad.. and yeah the fever has been in me even before the first one i got years ago, woke up just as ready to go as i was yesterday before the run

with a added burn to the forearm from fighting the last two, cut up thumb, backs sore from the paceing back and forth after catching each fish... was cold out there but not so much after catching each fish...

3 fish one night is something i never thought would happenfor me til i knew the duct far better i throw a lot of it towards luck, a bit to kharma and the rest to determination "not much to determination though i dont get to the duct nearly as much asi want to, maybe 2-3 times a month if im lucky

im sure they are fun on lures,, will keep trying, ive only been out there maybe 30 times in the last 12 years seen a few caught by who i was with just never got mine besides one who sawed me off on a cement slab early this year, ive always fished a lot got really busy for a couple years "working a full time crappy retail job, running a reef tank setup and cleaning job on the side, and doing tattoos" so didnt have time or energy to fish for those years,, started back heavy last year and it was the best fishing ive ever had best catches best numbers new species thennnnn this year came along and blew last year out of the game,, so many pb's this year and a few new species..
