Catching strange
OK, I thought I had seen everything until yesterday. Fishing the Ditch I get a hit and reeling in I'm thinking this is got to be the smallest Striper on record. I can feel it fighting but it's not the normal fight. Finally land it and it's a bass....a SEA BASS!!! This crazy bugger hit a 6" Storm Shad Heavy. It wasn't a lot bigger than the Shad.

Did you keep it. They are a tasty fish, I had one on the grill last night.

"some strange" is about the only thing I haven't caught while fishing the canal... 
Never know what you'll find there. I know someone who landed an 8' aluminum row boat that must have been bouncing down the bottom. |

I hope not. Minimum legal size is 14".  |

I landed 2 yesterday myself, (8-21-11) in the canal! I was using a blue/silver CC Shad, jigging it on the bottom. Both of my fish were in the 18-19 in range and were released because I was not sure of the season and or the min. lentgh.

The canal is a great place to pick up strange! Last trip down I caught 2 of them:

Neither was as strange as this guy who was in the rocks last year. Didn't try to catch him, but I should've:

Same here. It was, in retrospect, big enough (18") but I didn't know what the law was. |

14" (don't include the long tail filament on the males), 10 fish, season closes Oct 11.
I caught a nice keeper BSB couple weeks ago trolling 6mph, 6" crystal minnow, less than 15' water. |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
