FishDr Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Congrats! Nice fish! That's a seriously large lure, too! I bet the topwater explosions were epic.

I bet the topwater explosions were epic. It’s big enough to make your old lady blush! They where pretty big blow ups no doubt.

One of my co workers is a striper guy. He said the wave in the lines means it’s not a pure striper. It’s genes are probably predominantly striper though. Whatever it is it blew up that plug and pulled hard! CG_Fishes and DrewManFishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwp Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) That's a pure striper for sure. Wipers (hybrids) will have broken lines and a taller body, shaped a bit like a crappie. I'll see if I can find a pic.

SumoNinja Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Nice catch. Striper on top is awesome. Pure striper has my vote too DirtySouthGlide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySouthGlide Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Y’all are probably right. They guy I talked to catches a lot but is far from an expert. He definitely knows more than me so I just went with it. For what it’s worth these fish were caught in Georgia. Another member PM’d me and he had knowledge of east coast stripers with imperfect lines. Thanks for the knowledge and input fellas.
