Spoiled another beginner. Took a person that has never fished for stripers before and he is 68 years old. Yesterday he caught his first striper, a 46 inch fish and weighed 45 lbs. and we had four more fish. He was very happy.

wow... amazing to catch that cow for your first fish of a fly rod... fish of a lifetime for a SW fly fisherman...

hmmm not sure where it said fly rod, but amazing fish non the less very jealous.

Bet it had something to do with the tank behind him

Was not caught with a flyrod ,live mackerel

My biggest striper on a fly rod is 43 lbs. a year ago. A friend and I were fishing in close to the shore from the boat and I sighted a pod of big stripers, took a couple of cast and bingo, hit the fly. Just lucky.

thats a great catch. next time stand a bit lower so we can figure out were you are!!!!!

Nice first fish!
