Stripers have an insatiable appetite. One of the reasons why the fishing (for all other species) has declined here in the Connecticut River over the past 10 years.
Notice the size bait he's been eating. Don't always have to fish big baits to catch big fish. This time of year, smaller can be better. Good catch and pic. Thanks for posting!
I caught a Striper of about 10-12 pounds a few years ago that had 23 Skipjacks 8-9" long in its belly. The tail of one sticking out its gullet and it was still feeding like crazy. These are awesome feeding and fighting machines.
