Atleast you found them good for something.:Rofl

I look at it as practice that makes more efficient at getting a mess straightened out so I can get back to destroying the crappie population one limit at a time.

I've had one of those stripers on two different hooks twice! I guess he ate one got hooked and grabbed another one before he realized he was hooked. I'm not sure if they call them stripers because of the stripes or if striper is short for spider rig ripper!

that top one is definitely a striper. surprised that there is any doubt.

Yeah I thought the one on top looked like striper to me too. I always looked at the lines being more defined, not broken up to id them. Nimrod posted the difference though, has something to do with gill plates too I think. Either way I'm not a big fan of them myself, they ain't bad but they ain't all that good either. I was about to ask if you'd caught that stripper off a pole or just some old snag off the beaten path? Some folks call em white strippers too and yes they can be aggressive at times and really tear your junk up....old crappie fisherman once said you really gotta watch out for those white strippers my boy.
