This one was close to 8lbs.Released..Not bad for a Jersey Bass.
If I have to say there is one difference for me between striper's and LMB..I never kept not one of the thousands of LMB I have ever caught.I can remember keeping my first pickerel.None after that.My mom would tell me to bring fish home but I was a sportsman..

IMO, LMB are just like stripers.In so many ways.The way they relate to structure.The way they hold in current.The way they can be provoked into striking.Nocturnal feeding patterns..LMB fishing taught me to keep a open mind..They can ALWAYS be caught..
It was a easy transition from LMB to Striped Bass...

It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
