Daves always wanting me to take him crappie fishing and i refuse to do it. I said lets go catch big fish. Needless to say he latched into one. he usaully bank fishes with zebcos. i would have paid anything to have a video. We were in 44 feet of water deadsticking a gulp glow sassy shad on a 5/8 once jighead. i guess ole joe read outgunned us with the 18.5. i dont remember last year at this time alot of really big fish being caught. does anybody remember. I just hope everybody would release these big ones back. we did.
Congrats to Dave and to Fritomick for taking you!! Very Nice Fish!!
Fritomick this year with the mild weather the fishing has been exceptional... largest striper I caught last year was in Feb it also weighed 15.8 and it was released!

That feller with that bad boy Tawakoni monster, looks like a friend of mine named Dave "W" or some call him "Big Daddy"! I thought he only hit those white tiny balls, now he's got the bug !! And in a big way !! Great job guys !

Nice fish for sure. I've caught many 15 lb range stripers and I think they fight harder on average, than a lot of the bigger stripes. They are in the prime of their lives at that weight.
