As the flashing spoon slowly sunk into the depths, something gobbled it. I set the hook on 2-pound striper, our second bass species to see daylight on this mild winter afternoon. I quickly released it to grow larger. That s a small one, Walker commented. There should be some big stripers around here.
Stripers are current-related fish.
The running generators pull water from the entire lake and draw them in like a magnet. Fish stack up in here 15 feet thick sometimes. Fish swim so close together the depth finder cannot distinguish individual fish. It just shows a solid block. People think they need a big bait to catch a big striper, he replied.
