Title: i landed my new PB striper
Post by: Hobious on April 24, 2023, 02:46:15 PM
this thing is heavier than the 16.5lbs the crappy spring loaded fish gripper indicated.  my friends 16.5 put on his grocery store scale was 18.  but as far as i know, it is bigger than 16.5. but that is all i can claim due to the scale we had at the moment.

but dang..what a fight!!  i light lined it with a 2500 spinning reel.  it was screaming in protest, but it handled it fine.  best shore fishing ever.  i was in Oklahoma.  casting against the wind with topwaters.
