Dang!

I bet I could land that on my crappie rig - hehe. :eek:

Thanks Minnowman, I've been crying over that one since yesterday. :rolleyes: Maybe I'll start my own guide service - if you want to catch a monster fish you pay me to fish for 3 days before you and not catch anything. That way when you go out they'll be biting.

Who's in? :D

Holy cow. Surely that thing wouldn't be good to eat?

I don't think I would try to eat it, I think it would look better on the wall than in a plate.

GRIZZ....let me know how that works out for you! hah! Minnowman :D

You are sooooo wrong! I can speak from personal experience, these fish (when prepared right) are probably up there with crappie and walleye...in my opinion! I used to live with a Cajun that knew how to cook fish I tell ya...we would slaughter a couple big ones and cube the meet about 1" cubes, then soak overnight to get the 'fishy' taste out and he'd cook them up they were tasty...mmm mmm good! The catch with stripers are you MUST cut the red strip of meat out that runs along the mid-section from the organs to the tail. with a GOOD filet knife you can just make a v-cut about .25" deep and pull the entire strip off, with a REAL GOOD filet knife you can just shave the red meat out as if you were 'widdlin' the bark off a small limb with a pocket knife.

This is all my opinion....those fish are GREAT to eat....let's 'ask the audience?'

MinnowMan :)
