Default Re: 62 lb STRIPER

Similar experience: bottom-fishin' 90'...pickin' up some nice grouper & red snapper...before we leave, a guy on the boat had brought tanks, speargun, etc. for a dive...comes back w/ fish that DWARF what we'd been catchin' on line... :o...did 2nd trip w/same guy w/same results!!... ;D...

Moral of storys, Willy's and mine...smarter fish don't fall for hook and line...they just get BIGGER!!... ;D...

I talked with that spear gun guy Rap. He said those fish are huge cows and they are stacked up in the deep holes every day and they never leave. But no one is catching them. And they are literally within casting distance of the jetty

I know at Hatteras Inlet about 2 years ago some netters caught one over 80 and in the same haul had one close to 60.

They're pretty healthy size in Lake Hartwell down here, too...several years back, a friend found one floating on the surface, near dead, but still tryin' to tail some...I personally put it on a 55 lb scale...which INSTANTLY bottomed out...and since then, another fish from that lake was weighed at 62 lbs... ;) ;D...
