I caught my first double digit striper today!
It weighed 10.4 lbs. It was at 6:05 this morning. I had another rod go down as I was reeling the 1st one in, but missed it. They were the only hits of the day. I gave up around 9:00 & went and had a celebratory breakfast.

Thanks guys.
I knew it was big as soon as I picked up the rod. It circled the boat twice. Iām surprised no lines got tangled. My fishing buddy, Porkchop, didnāt know what the hell was going on.
I wish I would have taken pictures, but I was more concerned about getting it back in the water. It took me a little while to get my scale turned on. Pics next time for sure.

Congratulations bob, nothing better than seeing a big fish rise up from the deep. Hope he lived through the release.

I fished the same area for about two hrs. & never saw it floating. Last I saw, he was heading for the deep.

Good for you Bob. I gotta get off of my butt and get out there. I need steelytom to show me how again.
You need me to show you how to sit on the lake, drink beer and run from thunderstorms? You are experienced, one of the best beer drinkers I know.
