The water temps have been fluctuating alot the past week, but I have managed to boat 21 striper, with only 1 keeper. Schools have died down the past couple days, but bucktails have been producing.
32 inches, 20lbs

Great picture! Keep it up. Nice for a blue bird day!
Nice fatty there! Even if that was your only keeper out of 21 fish, I’d say it was very much worth the effort.

Nice fish, but I have trouble with it being 20 lbs. Check http://hrfanj.org/StSize.htm, which historically has been pretty accurate, and it is between 12 and 16.7 lbs.
I have never seen a 20 lb. striper less than 36" long, and the girth is not there to push it past 17 lbs.
Just saying.

That fish looks bigger than 32" and I can believe 20lb by the picture. I’m with Rick K that 32" fish don’t equate to 20lbs that I’ve ever seen. 29" fish is usually around 8-10lbs (only know because it’s been our max a few times this year). My record is 14lbs and it was 32-33" I wanna say and had a belly.

Bunch of buzz killers! Nice fish. If you say it’s 20 good on ya. Looks cool to me.
Lol scale said 20lbs, it was rusty and old, but I think it was accurate +/- 2lbs.
This fish was 30lbs/39.5 inches, couldn’t care less who belives it or not lol

Where were you fishing, Murray or Moultrie? I saw you posted the 1st picture in the Lake Moultrie section as well. Just curious.

Nice fish, you can be proud of that one. Here’s one I caught on Clark Hill back in March that weighed 21 pounds and it is about the same size is yours. It’s pretty common on the Savannah River lakes to catch 20 plus. And That guy standing behind me has accurate scales because he catches the well over 30 all the time.

I wasn’t questioning the weight, just to note. I questioned the length cuz it looks much bigger than my 29" fish this year.
