Started beating the water to death again in my usual haunts and after about two hours of zipola, I was starting to think there are no fish in these waters when it happened. 10lber slurped up my Punker after the fourth try at it. Well this woke me right up and I started paying attention again. Next fish came about 10 feet from the boat. 5lber detroyed by Punker. Next fish (12 lber)hit the bait so hard, it came clear out of the water with the Punker in it's mouth. Great couple of hours of fishing. Stuck 5 Stripers. 2 were about 5 lbs. But three were over 10 and one being about 15lbs. Also missed one in the 10 lb to 15lb range. All returned to the water unharmed.
Please return the fish. There are enough meat fisherman out there, raping the waters with live bluegills and such. If you have to, keep a couple of 18 inchers once in awhile but throw the larger fish back so they can spawn and we can continue to have great trips like this one in the future.
All on Punkers. My punker was thrashed. I will need to replace the hooks... again.
Good problem to have
Incidentally Patrick , the Power Pro was awesome. Indestructable and works real well with instant hook sets. I am sold. All my heavy sticks will be spooled with the 65lb test. Thank you.
