Went fishing for stripes Friday night. My buddy tells me these are medium size. Heck one of them stripped the drag out of my pinnacle reel. I believe its time to reup some of my gear.

WOW, looks like a big medium!

Well, I know they were fun to catch, but they are really "small" for
the species. Medium around here is considered 15 to 24 lbs. Most striper
fishermen consider 25+ "big". The Tennessee River produces a ton of 30 lb+.
The State Record is 65 lb 6 oz.

They were a blast to catch. My buddy caught a 36lber a few weeks back. That thing wad enormous. Hopefully She Who Must be Obeyed will let me go again this Friday evening. I'm loving catching these fish.

What's wrong with the coloration and pinkness on the bottom? Stripers round here are uniform in color.

They had been sitting in a cooler for about 9 hours when that picture was taken.

Great fish! Here locally at the Neely Henry dam they get very large. You can spend 2 or 3 hrs out there and leave with a stringer full using nothing but a spoon.

I just might have to fish there in a few weeks. The stripe fishing is definitely giving me a break from the work of bass fishing.

I live near the chesapeake bay in Maryland, and I can tell you those are in fact medium sized, maybe even on the lower end of the medium sized scale. Stripers are the premier tidal fish here, and I have seen absolutely humongous stripers pulled out the of the bay. Another good thing about stripers too is that they can survive in freshwater, either as a hybrid or pure. They don't breed however in the freshwater lakes however, and have to be continually stocked. They do reach those giant bay sized proportions in lakes that are large enough to support them, as long as they aren't taken out.
