yeah, well I get excited anytime anything starts tugging at the end of my line, never really bothered to weigh my fish, just always made sure they were over 28". Maybe because I never caught any fish worth mentioning....lol

I am kinda late with striper fishing, too. Hopefully, I will hit the canal one of the mornings this week...

Except for a quick boat trip with a friend a few weeks ago, I haven't even sniffed the salt. I only just cleaned up my gear...

I told him I had a couple of mid-teens and one around 20. He said "wow, those are small fish. I said "really, since when is a 20# fish a small fish? He said OH, I thought your were talking inches.:smash:

yup.. schoolies were schoolies... students or rats.. back when 16" was a "keeper".. 10 -15lbs means they were mediums.. and that was only for market terms..... everyone I knew called 'em bulls... not cows when they got worth talking about( and of coarse no one did until after the fact)... even if they were female....

i'm still running late from last year -Night fighter

but things are vastly improving ,moving forward
licenses all in place now... foots almost back to brand new.
less restrictions ...
