doug 123 talked about our thursday nite striper fishing when we landed a 30"striper. He hasnt posted yet ( BTW Im his dad) but he went out Friday nite with his new bride and fought through the blue fish long enough to land a 42' bass. He was missing a lot of hook ups on bass and switched to a larger hook and a pulled it out thru the gill plate made big difference !Beautiful Fish . Now thats dedication
