Congrats on your fish. First striper, first keeper, now you'll want your first bass over 20lbs and it only goes up by ten pounds. And someday you'll hit the big 50 and who knows where it goes from there. I'm a little scared to find out.
But really, congrats on your keeper. You will never forget that fish. It's been a few years since I got my first striper and my first keeper and I remember them both vividly.
Good job!
