SUMMARY : |
Finally, the first striped bass trip of the year and the first fishing trip with my brother
of the 2005 season. Although we only caught one fish apiece, they were nice healthy specimens
that put up a fight like no other freshwater fish around here can match. My brother's fish
went 17.5" and weighed 2 lbs. 11 oz. Hopefully this is the start of a great striper season.
