What does this image tell you? .....it tells me a Striper was either curious about "WHAT" you were....or was daring enough to venture in close due to some snacks that may have been hanging around you or the area. I don't think it was just released, due to the color of the water...I think it would be a lighter shade of green, due to the depth.
What do you think the bass is thinking/feeling? ....I think he's thinking/feeling....."I'm hungry.....I'm nervous.....I'm hungry.....I'm nervous..."...
....but definately ALERT!!!...READY TO RUN, AT A SECONDS NOTICE!!
What kind of conditions do you think prevailed that day, and why? ......Ok....obviously its during daylight hours....which aside from structure nearby, the "clarity" issue could also be due to traffic..ie: boats (diving in the afternoon, near a boat highway, drastically effects visibility)....and I don't think Mr. Lap. walked into any surflike conditions...it's probably the water surge/current along with the structure around the area causing the visability issues....the color of the water tells me its probably N.E. waters....
How big do you think this striper is? ....Size is always a problem with some fisher(people)
....but size underwater, is completely different...I would not try to spear this fish....I'd be afraid he was way too close to being short...so I'm guessing...28" give or take a couple...maybe 10 or 11#s. IF THAT!
What method would you use to catch it, and why? .....LOCAL LIVE BAIT!!.....BECAUSE THATS THE BEST!!...
so when do we get the answers???.....
