Got out to the ships again tonight! The tide has just barely started to move and I got into position. I opted for a lighter weight since I had several pickups and short runs that didn't connect on the last two trips. After about 45 minutes, I heard the sweet sound of the drag slowly starting to whine. Here is a shot of my 51.5" cow from tonight and Jim Leisy's (NCkayaker) fish from two nights ago.....

Jim's 43" Kipto Cow

My personal best this year. It is my longest striper at 51.5".....

Congrats Chad and thanks for posting the photo of my striper from Saturday night.

That is a great photo with the eel coming out of its mouth.

I hope to get up there again during the holidays. I will call you.

Best wishes,

jim

You guys sure are making me do a lot of homework on Striper fishing. ;)

I've gotta get into some of them, even if it's some of our smaller freshwater Striper.

Great job, guys!! Thanks for the inspiration. :mrgreen:
