i've experienced BITES where the stripers range from:

30" ~ 39"; high teens and low twenties,,,,,,,,,,,,,

then there's been the nights that the first take is:

39" ~ 43"; and then back to the mid twenties,,,,,,,

my question is this; do the trophy sized ymates (50# & up)
tend to pod together like their younger bretheren, or do they become
more of the Big BEOTCH on Campus type of Dominitrix of an area once they've reached that size and year?

i'm just wonderin' more about their podding habits? i remember Laptew's Cutty
shot of the ONE big gurl amongst multiple Large??

any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i read in OTW that the guy who shot the 68.4 world record spearfishing bass said that when he sees migrating stripers he would see the 20s then the 30s then the 40s and after that the 50s would come in in pods.... i always figured the trophys kinda hung out by themselves but after hearing about the numbers of monster bass pulled off the block this year that maybe they do travel in pods
