We fileted it. Filled up our freezer for a long while, plus gave a bunch away to people at the marina.
I only keep stripers when i know someone wants some meat. I pretty much throw everything back.
I would of loved to mount it, but i hate to think what it would of cost. We took a bunch of pictures and also measured it, so i could have one made up one day.
My favorite fish story from this weekend was a guy i sold my old 14' lund boat to decided to tell me he caught a 17 lb striper but threw it back. I asked if he had a picture of it, he said he didn't. He also said at the fish cleaning station i never would keep a big fish, only the small ones since they taste better. Catch a monster after years of trying and tell me that....
that made my whole weekend hearing that.....lol
