39lb striper while drop shotting
I was fishing the river we live on today, TN river at the 411 bridge. We have alot of kentucky spots in the lake, river, whatever you wanna call it, and I do well on the drop shot. I was getting fish at the 40-50 ft level off the bridge pilings. Made a drop, got nothing, started burning the rig back to the boat and just got drilled halfway back. Fish did a run like a yellowtail. Nearly bottomed out my stadic. After several long runs and a good 10 min later, it came up. It died while it was in the net. Never thrashed around or anything. I think it was due to the fight and the 80 degree surface temp. I was really bummed it died. I never like keeping big fish and this one was a brutal fight. Anyhow, I never would have thought I would get a fish like this on the drop shot.

Were you using 6#? I can only imagine the fight that beast gave on the light line.

Nice catch Dave! If your ever back in Cali, hit me up and we'll go catch some real yellowtail!

Dude I hear you guys are getting some big yellows this year. I do miss throwing iron and getting railed

Lots of small 5-8 pounds stuff but there's a few to 35 around.
