Striper in my backyard

Got some left over night crawlers from yesterday lake fishing so decided to go fishing in my backyard this evening.  Caught a bullhead within 15 minutes so I use it for bait    It's getting dark so I was ready to head back then...zzzzzzzzz.....I set the hook....fish on!  The outgoing tide was strong so the fish took advantage of the tide and keep taking my line.  I know there's no snags in this area so I was taking my time playing the fish. After several runs I slowly got it back to the yak and took some pictures of the nice Striper and let it go.  I love night fishing for Stripers...

Paradise, awesome that was worth going out for . Good job Sonny.

You are truly on a role Sonny. WTG on the striper. It is only January and you had
already caught 4 kinds of fish.

Very cool Sonny, you entering all these fish????? Where abouts were you, I thought all the stripers left the area for the winter.
