Fishin' 2022

It's not that unusual to catch 30 pounders at the lake I fished in NC. Buddy of mine caught a 55 lb. Striper. And that was like 10 lbs. lighter than the state record. If I remember correctly (it's been 35 years), in the tournaments, they had to be fresh water only. They would take a flesh sample and if they were salt water Stripers, they didn't count. Phucking cheaters.

These are 30" or so rocks from the Patuxant river just off our familys farm in Md.
My #2 is in the middle, with his ya yaa's. a john boat, 20lb spider wire and 1/4 oz rattle traps.
If one is after 40" to 55" inch ones a few miles to the bay and troll or live line for them. .

Wow, those are monsters. I bet they were a blast to catch.

Loads of fun. Average rock from the bay, 38" to 55" trolling or jigging above a school of fish. After rock fishing its tough to get a kid to fish for white and yellow perch.

Its a picture of a picture.
Same kid a few years earlier with me.

Slept in today rather than hunt. Suggested to my wife that we go fishing. Hit Webster hoping for some gills and perch. We found them! Kept our dozen for a meal. One male gill squirted milt like it was spring. Never seen that before.
