Well, it seemed like a long time with the long wet spring and lack of sunshine. I was lucky and got a 23.5" that Saw1 just slipped his head in the net when my swimbait (that the fish destroyed...lol) popped off. Was a surprise that he wasn't bigger. Fought really well and we were in a bit of current so he definitely didn't want to come in.

I'll let Saw1 finish the rest of the story.....

Perfect eating Stripers my Friend ! 👍

Way to go Ben and Steve! I suspect the fishing will continue to improve in the coming weeks and we’ll see more of you catches on here.

Thank you! I am hopeful that with the better weather we will start getting in to them a bit more regularly!!! Will be in contact and we'll get out and catch a few. Good Luck in Alaska!!
