Found floating on the surface of Lake Greeson, Arkansas in the 80's. 52 lbs. People there told us that in the summer they would get in deep water and come up to fast. It would kill them. We also found several 10-20 lb'ers.

weekend.

I was there this August and found two well over 20lbs floating by the dam.


If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

I wish I had the pic of myself and my granddad in the early 80's with a mess of stripers we caught at PK. It was on the bulletin board along with a lot of other pics in Hardwick's Store for years. I never got it before they closed the store down.

You must be 7 foot tall. Reason I say this is because the Texas state record 53 lber was in my freezer for a day. I rescued it from a taxidermist that wouldn't answer calls from the owner of the fish. I am 6 ft tall . That fish was longer than the fish you are holding. The scale was wrong assuming your not a giant of a man. Still a great big old fish !!

Wish they still stocked Greeson. Fished that lake a few times and it can easily support those fish up to trophy weights. I think the problem was that nobody went over there to fish for them. Still is a phenomenal fishery for other species such as kentucky bass, white bass, etc

They got plenty of walleyes too.

What I've heard was the bass fishermansss were complaining and request that they stop stocking that lake with stripers. I've talk to few bass fisherman and they said they wouldn't care less if they stock the lake with stripers are hybrids at all. They believed those predator fish would eat up all the fingerling bass and smaller bass. I almost believed them. Gutted them hybrids at another lake one time found small crappies,and walleyes inside their stomach.

There are a couple of things that could be responsible for the striper to die in the summer. One is temperature. Water that is too warm will kill them. Also, in the summer when the lake temp rises striper will go to deep water to find cooler temps. Some of the deep cool water has very little oxygen and the fish suffocate.
