Nice striper Josh, that is a big one.  Must have been a blast on ultralight gear.  We fish in the saltwater up here for them in the fall.  I usually use light tackle, never tried going ultralight.

Very cool Josh.

I was not posting back when you had your surgery and have been wondering how you were doing. Looks like you are doing just fine. ;D

Thanks again, Guys!  It was a really fun experience, I hope to catch a matching one next weekend so I can have one to go on the wall on each side of the mantle!   ;D ;D

Marc, your dad sounds alot like me.. I would tip the canoe and never let go of the fish too... gotta keep your priorities straight and all.. ;D

Medic, I caught him on Inland Lake which resides just outside of Onteonta AL off of Hwy 75.  They just re-opened the lake it has been closed to the public for awhile because the water was so low... It supplies a pretty big part of Birmingham with drinking water.

Scott and PatB... STRIPPERS?! 

Johnston, I am doing great after surgery... I feel like I am back to 100% now... Just really don't like being on these blood thinners.

Paul, the best time to go catch em is right now in AL... along with the crappie and bass.  I was crappie fishing when I caught this one.
