Does anyone know why these striper are so beat up?

I am purely guessing that is a fight over a mate. Most people fight over booze, money or women. Since stripers don't have $$ and I have never seen one at a bar, I'm guessing it is from spawning territory battle scars.

Ideas???

Tossed back!
Already had limit of overs and wouldn't have kept them even if I didn't. Around 24"
Taken 5-16-14 when they were spawning more.






I feel more like I do now than I did when I first got here!

I think thats more than fighting for a mate. Those escaped the jaws of a predator.

These are the talon marks from the CrazyBlue Kucklebird! This bird is native to Grayson County. I have seen these Blue Giants at Hidden Acres Cabins!
