Here's a 12.5 Striper I picked up in a nearby reservoir. jgjam should know where I am.

Wow!

Yo Redneck1:

First let me say that's one beautiful fish.

On the 6;00 news tonight they had a film clip on a young teenager who was kayak fishing at Surf City N.J.. The boy after a 20 minute fight hauled in a 52.8 lb. striper, just 5 lbs. short of the record in his age group. The striper was almost as tall as the boy, a once in a life time (if your lucky) catch.

Beauty, I don't get too many stripers but I do get a few 10+lb Hybrid Stripers. They are a real handfull.

I'm cryin' over hear...just cryin' ...
6 more weeks to go...

BMW, I live 1/2 mile from the reservoir where the 1st expermental hybrids were released. If you recall, it's a cross between striped bass and the common white perch. They were supposed to be sterile. Guess what? Now, 15 years later we're catching juveniles. Can you say Jurassic Park? We don't mind though, as it's a great fish and a welcome addition. Now about those snakeheads.......

Nice Striper = Good eating!!!

License to kill bass by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill bass at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a fish. And a fish will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Fish Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.

THL, I know what you mean about experiments. Texas A&M used Grass Carp to clean up the Hydrilla here and of course they were supposed to die off and not reproduce, LOL. I've seen young Hybrids too and the lake hasn't been stocked in years, supposed to be a put and take deal but they seem to be reproducing. Ok by me!

JonR, I'll take you along the next time you guys from CAO are back in Wichita, KS rolling cigars. I just hope you don't take offense to cigars and ale in the boat!!

Yo redneck1:

You have mistaken me "JonR" with "Jon@CAO". However if I ever get to Wichita I'll look you up.

JonR

^Shhhhhhhhh, get a CAO cap, some tats & play along....

Oh yeah, almost forgot--bring plenty of CAO "samples" to give away.LOL

LOL!! Sorry JonR, my mistake!! The offer still stands though. In fact, if ANY of you Yayhoo's find yourself in Wichita (for some sad reason) let me know and we will try to hook you up with a Hawg!! I know we will hook up with a cigar an ale... Any takers!!
