WOW!
Now that is a big striper...much more rare than a 63lb stripper. Hahahaha!

Here is the info:

we were jigging parachutes under a school of small bues/bass...catching same.....waiting for night to fall to eel for the biguns..i jigged for a while & stopped to take a 1/4 crank on the reel when she hit..(took a lot of ribbing over that).....she took some line & i thought to myself...this is definatly a keeper...lol...when i got her within sight she came up & i could see her back & fins i knew she was big....i had to drop the rod tip & back up so the captain & crew could boat the beast & i didnt know for sure how big she was till she made that thud on the deck.... you know the thud that usually comes from some OTHER lucky son of a guns fish....this time she was mine
belly was completely empty as far as i could tell (i didnt actually cut her)


so she was meandering around under a large school of blues...lazily piking up scraps & whatever....til captain john of the sundowner 2, who actually deserves all the credit, put a lucky son of a gun (me)into the fish of a lifetime
im getting a mount of her(glass)on a pole that slides into the ground in the flower garden...she will be comming up out of the flowers around my pool chasing an eel
i wish i would have swiped the lure that duped her for the mount...but over all im pretty happy with the experiance
been fishing as far as i can remember....started with dad surfcasting in porpoise channel....then in freshwater lakes in my teens & 20s....did alot of guides in fla for a while first in fresh then on to salt & got the itch to own a boat & fish local waters from my bro....learned alot from this site....really enjoy fishing & taking my 3 boys out....whats better than that?
