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.
