I watched that video strictly for the bikini's! The rest of it....well just say it's not my favorite genre of music.

seems to me that Wipers act more finicky like smallies

When I worked out in KS a few years ago i tried my luck in some of the big reservoirs out there. They were hard to find and catch but once I got the hang of what they took it was fun. I got them on spinners and small pearl storm shads. Good sport on freshwater gear. From my limited understanding the only way to get stripers to reproduce was to cross breed them with the resident white bass species otherwise stripers as we know them here could live in freshwater but not reproduce. I could be wrong on that though.

all i hear about lately is people i know catchin what we know as shorts in freshwater lakes ...but in ARKANSAS they have 40 lb fish and up.... so ,,, it isn't all dinks.... but the thing is, without tides and surf and the whole range of saltwater bait...it's a whole new ball game and the methods differ

i've read that stripers eat freshwater bass after they've been released following a bass tourney because from captivity they go back in sluggish.
