jthod Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Finally went through the rest of my GoPro footage, and pulled some more pics of these striped beauties. It was a wild evening, once I found them.I typically target them with conventional gear, spinning tackle most times. They are an unreal animal. If you haven't had the pleasure, just listen to the sounds of joy coming from a spinning reel with a wiper on the other end.

emjay Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 These are also my favorite fish to chase other than 20+lb stripers. Their fight is so much fun. And the ones in the 5-6lb range have great flaky tasting meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ones in the 5-6lb range have great flaky tasting meat. Yeah, the lake I fish normally has a great population of 4-6lb fish. By far the hardest fishing fish around these parts. I don't normally keep them, but I have in the past. Eaten fresh, never frozen is key. Remove ALL the red meat. The firmness of the meat allows it to be cooked many ways, grilled, blackened, seared and baked...etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew03cmc Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Wiper are a special fish. They grow huge and never quit fighting. We have them in MO, both in rivers and in lakes. Being shorebound, I have yet to find a reliable place to target them. They're certainly my favorite species to catch, but it's a rarity for me.
