Naw, caught him going right into the S curves, could see the dam from where we were. Man Stripers from anywhere are addictive! I used to live out on Norman and had a buddy that took me out years ago, I have never forgot it! I have caught many hybrids in the rivers but these Stripers have skunked me for years! I was just in the right place at the right time! Shad were working up to the top, thick! But, no fish busting on them, hmmm, I told my wife something is pushing those shad up just not following them! Through a No 5 crankbait (shad pattern) He engulfed it on the third cast, pulled like a freight train! I Love it!

Hope my luck holds out this season for some more just like him!
