Slow day on hickory

Started around 9 this morning trolling saw lots of bait then it happened one rod went down after finally untangling everything and getting fish in about to wear the old man out a stripper 27 inches long released it and it was continuous had to move to another spot wound up catching 4 stripers anywhere from 25 to 30 inches lost 2 more and that was enough for me it was tough on 4 lb test crappies were slow I think because they dropped the lake a foot over night

Stripers will definitely get the kinks out of your line. Congrats on a fun outing, even if the target species didn't want to play. Good fishing.

Sounds like an interesting trip. Those big ones will work your gear over for sure
