40 ft deep on a hump. Found some bait and a couple fish going in and out. My son and i dropped our spottails down and this beauty stretched my line. 8lb Fluoro on light bass tackle. Over a 5 minute stressful battle. Some of the best fun I have ever had and my family really enjoyed it. I think it really lit a fire with the boys. I hope this moment will be burned in their memories and give them the fire to get outdoors and "get hooked". I have been dying to get my own striper for over a year, and hard research, a lot of help from some of the folks here, and luck; finally paid off.
We had a video going on my phone, but when I handed the phone to my wife, I forgot to push the record button. We thought we were taping and unfortunately we were not. We were all pretty upset because this fish was stripping line and the reactions were priceless when we saw her coming up under the boat. To us, this fish is a beast. Man, this does not get old.
2 quick pics and I released her. She torpedoed nicely and went straight down.
