Wipers
AndyL;
That sounds like a great day, sure you won't forget it for a while.
Thanx for mentioning Redfins, have a couple, haven't thrown them for a while, might be the time this spring.
Only ever caught one Striper that I could positively identify as a striper. A buddy and I were trying out an outboard and trolling motor I had bought from him, I didn't even take a pole. He insisted I use one of his (a Browning Micro rod/reel, 6 lb mono).
Had run the motor, pulled into a cove and was fiddeling with the trolling motor. He insisted that I fish, so I cast out with one of his home made, 1/8 oz, white, rubber skirted jig. While it was sinking, I finished hooking the trolling motor to the battery (good thing I did). I turned around, picked up the rod and immediately realized something was on it...gave a couple quick jerks to ensure hook set and it was on. When my buddy realized that I had a SOLID hookup, he came across those boat seats like a hurdler!...ran the trolling motor for me and when I got the fish pretty worn out, he grabbed it and hoisted it over the gunnel. (No net, only trying the motor). Weighed on certified scales, 17 pounds, male striper, had spewed out steady stream of fertilize since boated. At that time only missed state record by a few ounces. My biggest...so far!!! Not the day you had but I'd say we've both been fortunate enough to have a very good day.
best to you and yours...
