Fishing was real good at PK this weekend. I decided to go out for a couple hours before heading back to the metroplex this morning. The weather was perfect. It was overcast with temps in the 70's. Since I didn't have much time so I headed straight to magic point. I trolled across the stripers once without getting a hit. I changed the 4 inch sattwater gulp baits out for a larger 5 inch ripple shad on the two jig one crankbait rig I use thinking that maybe something bigger might work. I pulled across the fish again and nothing happened. I was pretty bummed, as it was time to go, so I started reeling in one of the two rods I was using when I felt it snag the bottom. I pulled up on the rod and the bottom started peeling out line. After a nice fight, I landed this 31.5 inch 18 pound striper. He made the 25 incher I had in the cooler look pretty sad. I also noticed that if I catch one bigger than this, I need a bigger cooler. I had to do bend this guy a lot to get him to fit. Not sure yet if I will mount him or just get a replica. My 25 inch fish looks small compared to the big boy.

He looks like he has not missed too many meals. Life is pretty easy for PK fish this year. Not many fisherman and lots of bait.

I love to hear that PK is doing well. I caught my first striper there. a lot of memories growing up fishing that lake. It kills me when we hear about golden algae.

Nice fish. It's amazing how big fish can get when they are not pounded every weekend by lots of fisherman.

I like the replicas... I have a 25lb striper and a 36lb striper on the wall. they are skin mounts, and they are starting to show some age, they were done by two different taxi's. I think the replicas look better, and they will last forever.
