personal best...thanks to Stripermaineiac
Caught a beauty in the surf. A new personal best. 46". Took some great advice from Ron also known as Stripermaineiac....it really paid off. I did keep the fish and had a big dinner with a lot of friends. I'd like to note that it was the only one I kept and released over 20 other fish. Caught it in Southern Maine off the beach on a clam on 17 lb. mono. Great fight and again, thank you Ron!

tasted fantastic by all accounts. filets cut into portions, seasoned and then fresh herbs and a lemon slice on top, drizzle of olive oil. Baked at 425f for 35 minutes. Top with sauted chanterelles we had hunted.
I've never cooked a large striper but I thought it was as good as the slot fish I've kept in the past.

I did not get a weight. It was 46.5" and had a girth of almost 24". Any way to figure the weight from this? Any guesses?

Length x girth squared divided by 800= roughly 30lbs give or take 10% congrats.....

Yeah I'd say 10% on the up swing. 33 pounds seems right if I had to guess. Nice fish  |

Congrats! Nice fish, nice to have friends like Ron and nice to see some action up in Maine. I love it up there, been going up for about 10 years now with the family. The luck has been dwindling the past few years up Booth Bay area but like I said I love it up there. "Maine the way life should be"! |
