First striper over 20 for me this year
Fished DVL for 2 hrs before work with some friends and had an awesome bite! One of my buddys was using a jointed Z-plug and nailed a 6 lbs LMB first cast and then 10 min later a nice striper. Other buddy was using a bbz and getting swirled on like crazy but nothing committed. I was throwing a Hud. with no success so switched to a plunker and started getting follow-ups. Stuck with it and got nailed hard! This fish almost spooled me and actually got tangled in a guys line that was bait fishing across the cove. He ran to his pole to set the hook when my fish got wrapped in his line and i yelled to him that i was hooked up with a striper and to free spool it which thankfully he did. Anyways, Landed the fish with another smaller model and called it a morning. Having a fish fry so these ones were kept. Its been awhile since ive caught a 20+ lbr.... Nice to see something larger than the cookie cutter 12 lbrs.
