That's called a dream fish because that's what most of us on here dream of catching! Great pictures and write up. Thanks for sharing...

TOTALLY AWESOME!!
My next trip to Arkansas will be to fish Hamilton. Strange, we usually stay on Hamilton when we go thru Hot Springs, and I never realized it had Stripers.
Looks like a great trip.

Total awesomeness!! In calm water and residental areas too. How deep were the water? Were they ya'll personal bests? Did ya'll take some back to Texas water?? LOL. Awesome pics!!  The water we fished was 20-70' with most fish being pulled out of the deeper water. Shack had the only PB of 35#. I got my PB of 25# last time in December.

Woo Hoo! I recognize that boat! I hope you got to catch some of those fish too Trent and not just drive and take pictures!! I did. We all had 3 lines out each for an equal opportunity for a trophy fish. Shack's lucky hat and boxers  , as he kept reminding us, gave him the mojo this round. The fish seemed to prefer the planer presentation.

Thanks Bill! There also was a 14, 13, few 11's, and a double digit hybrid caught on a ballon rig, among others. Except for the 35, those are not going to break anyones PB in this very experienced crew, but still quality fish! That morning before we took out I was asking if everone had there lucky items with them? Told em i had my lucky fishing hat and skinnies on so I was ready!!! Guess it worked!!!!!
