Nice Stripper. Hopefully with the high water well have a couple more good years of bait fish and the strippers wont crash.

What a monster fish and still almost ten pounds short of the state record. I bet that 48 pounder was a hog. You sure don’t hear about a lot of big fish like that being caught while trolling. Thanks for posting link.

I remember reading the article in the tribune when that state record stripper was caught. As I recall a guy was trolling from the back of a house boat on the way back to the marina. What a suprise that must of been when he hooked into that hog.
