great day on the river today!

[paul.]

caught fish today until i was just wore smack out! lm, whites, and the mules of the river - stripers! what a great day. these are not giants by any stretch of the imagination, but trust me it's all you want on bass tackle, especially when you're catchin' a bunch of 'em. ;D and these are just a FEW of what i caught. don't think i've ever caught so many big fish in one day. can't wait until next time. hope y'all are catchin' some too. 8-)

yeah I have caught and lost a few of them in the rivers here... love catching them but if I see too many, I move off to the side and look for the LMB again

Nice Paul. I love the occasional Hybrid or striper. Awesome fish man

[christopherjake]

Awesome!  There is nothing better than hooking and fighting a striper.  Great pics.

thanks very much everyone.  i did keep a limit of stripers (2) and a few whites for the fryer.  very tasty.   but most were released to try to pull someone else out of the boat. ;D

most were released to try to pull someone else out of the boat. ;D

...and if they cant pull you in the water, they make your rods and reels pay for it! 

Nice fishes Paul. 

[steezy]

paul you are the man and always catch some awesome fish,  it would be an experience to fish with you sir.

[brushhoggin]

buckhair jig? fluke? whatd they fall on?

[paul.]

thanks again guys.  y'all are too kind.   5bl, you are so right buddy.  i think i put a year's worth of wear on 2 reels.  ;D  to answer the question, i caught the whites and lm on a bandit flat maxx (rootbeer/chartreuse).  stripers went for a shad colored super shad rap and a big gold x-rap jointed shad (both saltwater baits).  i did catch one striper on a sexy shad colored dd22.
