    Nice one Jeff! I take it you were targeting the steel, but hooked up with a Striper?

    Mark, a couple of minutes before I caught this striper I hooked a big steelhead (adult size) and it broke my 10 lb tippet. That got my heart racing!

    Jeff: those stripers must be getting pretty hungry now that all the shad's gone! Great work. That's an awesome catch. Nice work!

    Looks like a Lagenbeck photo, rod, fish, wader toes. Sweet! Go Jeff. Incidental catches are sometimes more interesting than the species your targeting. Your fishing for salmonoids and catch stripes, Andy G fishes for stripes and catches salmonoids. Curious. You guys probably had the same thing for dinner right? Thanks for posting.
