The guy said the fish was 37" and 21#
Can Stripers be caught in the dead of winter?
Here's a story and picture I found on an ice fishing site about a Striper recently taken through the ice @ Lake Wallenpaupack...on wax worms and 4lb. test!!!
I USED I WAX WORM AND ONE SPIKE ON EACH TREBLE HOOK. I WAS FISHING FOR SLAMMER PERCH. I ALSO LANDED ABOUT 8-10 PERCH THE LARGEST BEING 14.5 INCHES ABOUT 1 1/3 LBS VERY FAT FEMALE. I WAS FISHING WITH MY FRIEND AND HIS FATHER THE BITE WAS SLOW.. ONE HERE ONE THERE.... MY FRIEND AND HIS FATHER LEFT AT 3:30 AT 4:15 I MARKED THE FISH ABOUT 6 INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM. BOOM I SET THE HOOK AND I JUST HEARD AND SAW MY DRAG SPINNING. I WAS USING A 24INCH GANDER MOUNTAIN NOODLE ROD WITH 4 LB TEST. I WAS BY MYSELF THEN. I WAS HAPPY THAT I HAD A FULL SPOOL OF LINE. THE STRIPER TOOK MOST OF THE LINE. AT THIS TIME I THOUGHT I WAS FIGHTING A CHANNEL CATFISH, SINCE I CAUGHT ONE 7 LBS LAST WEEK. ONLY THIS FIGHT WAS A MUCH STRONGER FISH. FINALLY AT 4:45 I JUST SAW HIS HEAD... THANKS TO MY GAFF . I PULLED HIM THROUGH THE 8 IN HOLE. THEN I CALL ALL MY FRIENDS .
