I wonder if it was one of those Flappy Meat Curtain Strippers. Def throw those back.

No Picture?!?

Dude,
If in fact you caught a striper in the surf, you have done what alot of us would love to do.
Thanks for the report,

I hear that they whistle if you CPR them just right:ROFL:


Great job on the "STRIPER" aka "Lineside" aka "Jailbird"
Is it just me but in reading your story/report......It doesn't seem to have a happy ending or a sad one....I'm still hanging on for the end result!

Ya gotta love the Luna though......Can't say enough good about those reels. That striper must have been HUGH if you were on her for 30 minutes. Did you put her on the sand?
