Norman troll

[jrc62]

My brother came up from Raleigh to stay a couple days and wanted to go to Norman to catch some spotted bass. Caught our limit and he ended up with his best ever Norman striper. 32 inches long. I normally don't keep stripers from Norman this time of year because there not stocked, but thought my brother was gonna have a heart attack when I mentioned releasing it. Water temp in little creek where we put in was around 43 but caught most of the fish in 46 degree water towards marshal steam plant. All on down riggers.
