Beaten and humbled ticked off

[JAG107]

Well at least you had a chance to see it and get your adrenaline pumping! And you've got another "fish story" to tell as well. Big stripeys don't taste as good anyway (so I hear).
Keep at it Pat, hopefully your next big hookup won't take so long!

Hey thanks Joe. Yah, one that size is definitely a CPR fish and needed for breeding.

Sorry for the loss, Pat. Why the light line? You said you use 30# for topwater - that would suffice.

[P.A.W.]

Kinda odd throwing a 90mm jerkbait on braid. I am thinking about loading up that one rod with 20# flouro though

Harley, Thanks for the nice comment, and Stumpknocker, perhaps that's how he got so big. Being smarter than the average striper. Askwhy, hahaha you know I've had enough 6-10 pounders to know the difference.

Went out today and all the boats I saw coming in had skunk smell on them
They did have one guy at the cleaning station cleaning his 1 fish he said took him all day to catch.
Tight lines and good luck to all .
