Fishstix024 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hell of a fish! Gonna be real hard to break that mark! Trophy stripers on the West Coast are becoming very hard to come by. Any fish over 20lbs is now considered a fish of a lifetime. It took me over 5 years of casting lures to break that mark. Then one spring I broke my PB three time in a month. 22lb, 25lb and 31lbs. My current PB is 34lbs, so I'm chasing that very elusive 40lb mark... mcclovinfishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where i’m at on the east coast, lake stripers don’t get too big. The lake record from the 80s is 38lbs and the season record is 33lbs. A lot of people are saying it may be many years before I see a 26+ again. More reason to go grind harder! Congrats on your pb though!

Alex Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 That’s a trophy anywhere in the country! Stripers are brutes and fun to catch, especially on swimbaits. You’re gonna remember that catch for a long time. Congratulations!!! mcclovinfishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
