After a great season of Saltwater fishing, with Marlin, Yellowtail, Yellowfin ,
Blue fin, and Dorado in the bag and some still at the freezer
I'm going back to the lake to fish for Striped bass
I just love the way they fight
But I'm releasing most of them to catch them again and again
Today I kept just one and gave it to my buddy Keenefish
who drove all the way from Vegas to catch a DD
he wanted fish tacos
Today we fished 1/2 day
hooked 3 Striped bass released 2 and kept a 16.5 pounder
(for David) and nailed Tons of LM bass most from 3 to 5 pounds
and all were released... so the LM bass fisherman keep catching them
2 of the the striped bass was released
so you guys can catch them again
but let them go, to be catch again, and again, were running out of DD's..
I don't think they affect LM bass population, and you can see that
in the huge amounts of LM bass at the lake ..way too many !
Smart LM bass fisherman release their fish to be caught again
and striped bass fisherman kill their fish... duh?
wake up
Nothing fights like a DD striper in Freshwater.. nothing
and the skunkers excuse that there is no fish because the stripers ate it
is a lie
Stripers preffer shad
I never had a striper with a LM bass in the belly
so let them go pic and release?
let them get huge to 50-pounds?
that would be a good fight boys
whatcha say ? pic and release the stripers?
There's been too many studies at different lakes
and striped bass does not affect LM bass population
and stripers have a hard time reproducing in the lakes
so the big ones that make it to the lake should be released
to fight another day
