Right where I use to fish for them! Never caught anything close to this, over 30 but not a monster like this! @gltaylor this one is for you!!

Getting on the Hudson River right after work that day, Schubert anchored his center console boat in approximately 20 feet of water in Catskill.

I ran into an 85lb stripper once, we went to high school together, and I was glad to see her doing so well.

Muddy, same here. 30, but no monsters. That's a beautiful striper! I'd have to kiss her on the nose, thank her and turn her loose

Sounds like what @Gingerman did as well.

BTW here is the record striped bass in 2011 at 81.88 lbs!!! He didn't weigh it for 12 hours since he didn't want to stop fishing!

Dang!
I'd probably mess my pants up

I would just blame being spooled on a sub from the naval yard there.

Grammer is important but strippers are importanter.
