...that I am no longer a Striper virgin.

Great fun catching nine Stripers early this morning (between 1am and 3am YUCK). Largest at 28" and smallest at 20.

Will post photos when I am able. brrrrrr....it is cold up here.

Stripers are easy, they are already crossed off my list.

Congratulations Terry.

I'm still not sure what all of the hubub is re Stripers. They seem easy tp catch. Not nearly as fun as reds and snook. I do hear they are tasty.

Eat one and tell us! Congrats on busting the striped cherry!

Glad to hear you got into them Terry!

Ok, had to re-read that.
And now that my brain is back where it belongs, congrats on the stripper Terry.

You didn't have to travel out of the state for that.

Yum. They are a tasty fish when fresh out of the water.

Pound for pound I think reds are much more fun. But I did truly enjoy catching the Stripers and will look forward to catching a bigger one in Maine in August.

Well, I have yet to catch one here in NC and they are harder to catch than Large Mouth Bass for sure. I am planning a trip down to Bath NC, where a friend of mine reeled in a few last week from the kayak. Hope to do that mid July at the latest. I am going up for a tournament in VA where stripers are one of the slam, think that is in Sept....hopefully I will figure it out by then.

I concur. I caught several many years ago in NC in the 24-30" range and reds and snook of the same size put up a much better fight in my opinion. Having said that, my brother got a 30 lb. striper that was an impressive battle. Regardless, they are still fun to catch.

Never eaten one, so can't comment on the taste.
