Where is your best shot at a 60? The answer will surprise you.
I just finished reading an article entitled "Super Stripers" in the March 2002 issue of IN-FISHERMAN magazine.
The author, a guide, made the following statement: "In 2000, my clients and I boated 35 stripers over 50 pounds and four over 60. So far in 2001 we've boated 27 over 50 and 14 over 60." Where is this place? Tennessee!! The Cumberland River impoundments.
The author is also an advocate of releasing these monsters. They take photos and make replica mounts. He holds the Tennessee state record at 65.6. Very interesting reading to say the least. Next time you consider a road trip to the Outer Banks take a right and head west.
