Blew the day off from work and went fishing with a couple of friends. My life-long buddy Tom got this sweet striper.
It was released healthy and a bit wiser just after the pictures.
I basically got only a couple of fish, one small keeper.

This bad boy made his day.
40",,, guessing about 20+ pounds......:D

Sure beats a day at work !

i know where that is !!! Nice job Van, I am sure that gave your friend a great feeling and bet it gave you a nice feeling as well putting him on the fish.

nice fish;)
