She was released alive back into our California Delta.

How big do you think she is?

Nice fish John, I wouldn't begin to now what it weighs but by the look on your face she's a heavy girl. Way to go we got to go out so you can show me how to catch strippers. :D

Talked to John. His scale maxes out at 33 pounds. This fish maxed out the scale. Unbelievable! Can you imagine hooking that on topwater. Fish of a lifetime! Great job John, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

My scale did max out at 33lbs. I was hoping someone could help me figure out about how much she weighed.

The fish was 52 inches long and about as wide as a soccer ball.

Mike Andrews can you help me out with a good guess?
thanks
John

Guess what i'm doing this weekend?

Stripers are really hard to tell from a pic. This one was 34# but I am haming it up a bit. I would guess yours at 35-40.

HOLLY CRAPAGE!!

According to this chart that fish weighed around 60 lbs. Like Jim said it took all I had to hold up that fish without pulling something.

Thanks KCK for the chart that was very helpful. I'm guessing that fish was between 52 to 53 inches long. Which means it was 19 years old and weighed around 60 lbs.

Thanks to Black Dog Baits for the awesome big fish lure! Jermy and Grant you two are the MAN!

John
