mackkie Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hi all, ill keep it short and sweet. I went out with a family friend striper fishing a week or so ago on the north shore of MA. We did about 4 hours of fishing due to time, (spanning over 2 days). We started out with 2 keepers on day 1 (shown below, 40", and a 38"). Day 2 was good for 7 keepers, all caught within 40 minutes or so (ranging from 36" - 30"). Every time i go out with this family friend, he always puts us on good fish, but this time was extra exciting! I have to admit, this big boy really pulled some drag on the initial hit!

Mepps Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 That is a sweet fish, is that the rod you used in the background? Fun on light tackle and great on the dinner table! Quote

Thats the one, i dont know the specifics of the rod, just know its a st. croix and he had 30lb braid spooled up, it was one heck of a fight! Glad you did not fall overboard for those pants look like shark bait. Geez! i finally get a little outside of my fashion comfort zone and all i get is comments from the peanut gallery! ;D they are a little bright, maybe it helped Quote
