B2C Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Was fishing prior to the gathering this weekend. Didn’t even know there were stripers until I hooked up and one broke me off. Luckily it threw my bait and I was able to recover. Retied and loosened my drag. Lucky to hook up with another. Was able to land my first swimbait striper on the Phoney Shiner!

Was pretty unprepared. Just brought a rod and a handful of baits. Wasn’t huge, Was fun though! BayAreaAngler and DrewManFishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaitThirty Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Epic story. Happy you were able to retrieve your bait! Makes it even more lucky… hence the second hookup. Congratulations! Great Share:) B2C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a solid striper - nicely done! I've got to admit though, that you're way braver than I would have been - if I'd recovered a bait like that it would have been immediately put into the tackle bag for another day. Yes, I'm a chicken sometimes... B2C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
