It seems that I can't catch any monsters to kill even if I wanted to!! The photo weigh-in will NEVER fly. Two fish the exact same length can vary in weigh by double as much. Striper Seeker made excellent points and tubes DO help but the fact is stripers don't respond to catch and release nearly as well as most species. We should do all we can, and I think most do, but they simply don't handle catch and release like other native species.
