 Posted: Fri May 04, 2012 11:30 am Post subject: First Keeper Striper |
 |
|
| I got out of work around 5 and headed straight to the river, when i got there the river was calm, Low tide was coming around 830 so i figured id fish until around 8ish. I was there for about a hour and a half getting hits but no hookups until one of my poles got slammed and when i set the hook i knew it was something big, It gave me a pretty good fight for about 5 minutes until i got him on the shore. Of course i was by myself the one time i get a keeper so the pictures came out terrible. Came out to 29.5 inches. (Pictures coming soon once i figure out how to upload.) |

That one was my 29.5 Inch keeper,(released) my cell phone is terrible so i added some light to the picture so you can make it out better. (Bloodworm)
This is my 26 Inch Fatty i caught April first (sandworm)
Hopefully a lot more to come

FishOn860's April striper had what looks like a white noodle coming out of its anus like the largemouth bass that I caught yesterday! 
Would any fish biologist out there confirm whether that means the fish were spawning males?

LMAO!!!
Remember that 26 incher you got back in march?
As it's spewin all over the place, you happened to ask if it was a male or female. I was tryin to keep a straight face while your picture was bein taken so you wouldnt start laughin.
Looks like you really rub those fish the right way. haha
Get back out there, the big ones are gonna be showin soon. Real soon.
