kookfarmer Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I was playing with some new baits trying to trick a spottie at sunset and hooked into a fish I have wanted to get for a long time. Ripped drag, tried to get me into a piling and splashed around quite a bit on the surface. It really got the heart going, so now I am obsessed with these guys. I didn't realize but it bent out the stock hooks and split ring on the bait... GrizzleyShad, Jim137a, LClements and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP00N Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Nice fish man! Stripers are one of my favorites. Wait till you get into one twice that size. Grab some owner ultra rings, st66 hooks and hold on kookfarmer, punkrockfisherman and DrewManFishing 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time swimming that bait and I was deep in the harbor, fully not expecting to hook anything "big" punkrockfisherman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
