27.4 lb striper

I had to go fishing with no recent reports by anyone anywhere of striper results or lack thereof. So April 26 somewhere in ballentine cove about 7:30 am this monster struck a treelined blueback on 17lb test, 0.5 mph in about 30 ft of water. 25 inched buried a planer board before she was in, and later a 23" and a 20" was landed. Strangely a 27" catfish hit a planer board in 40 ’ of water. Fun day !

Great fish Phil. Congratulations!
