Finally got my stud striper

25 pounder…we catch ALOT of 5-7 lbers on hartwell finally got a stud…

lost one earlier in the day due to a knot failure,at that point i stopped fishing and redid all my leader and hook knots…glad i did because by the time i got him in the hook was bent like a pretzel…

Nice, that’s a stud. Got pics? depth? bait?

We lost a real good one at the boat last week, circle hook just came unglued a couple feet from the net. Very dissapointing to say the least.

atta boy. trolling or livies?

no pics( i fish by myself and in the heat of the summer i try to release them back as quick as i can,so i don’t even have my camera with me)

depth,14 ft

bait,trout

this was not on hartwell but i was on a lake in the upstate area.

Sounds like you owe me a beer:smiley::smiley::smiley::smiley:

Congrats and glad you could release it

If you were on Jocassee your bait needed to be 15 inches minimum.:wink:

I refer to this spot as LAKE X:smiley::smiley:

Those that I send there have to take a blood oath:smiley::smiley::smiley:

I did not think they had stripers in Jocasse, boy if they did those sucks would be huge, bet they could reproduce as well

My understanding is that GA would like to turn it into a trophy lake but SC is not onboard with the idea.

I have heard many people say that a “certain area” should be C&R only which would be a great idea
