Great catches everyone! Keep'em coming. yajster358 - How does shark taste like? And how do you cook them?
7/11/11 My s/o caught a 10lbs and 32 inches freshwater striper @ Los Vaqueros Reservoir Livermore, CAGot a free mug
wow...now, that's what you call a fish with Bart Simpson's mind for Butterfingers. .. i love the backgrounds of reservoirs in cali... awesome how fishes even survive there too...i haven't read much into them, but it seems the fishes are pretty much stocked there to keep the natural laws of equilibrium in place???...
California's too broke to stock big game fish. Me and my friends ran into a fish and game officer not too long ago and we asked him if they still stocked striped bass and his answer was no. He stated that way back in the days to use to when california wasn't so broke, now the fish just travel through the delta systems which flows from and through the rivers that go into the ocean for striped bass. It's a good thing that they thrive pretty well in freash water reservoirs. Right now the limit for a striped bass is 2 per person with a size limit of 18 inches and over, but there has been in a battle in court in which they have agreed to amend the take and size limit of striped bass so expect to see a decline in the next five or so years.But I have seen many hmong famlies take coolers and coolers of striped bass in all shapes and sizes so the new law will only encourage more of this to happen.
If you're afraid the striper population is going to die out in cali... take matters into your own hands. Start up a sportsmen club like we did here in Wisconsin and stock game fish. Afterall in the end our great gand-children will be the one's deprived from these resources, not us. I'm sure the fish and game dept would be willing to help with this as well. Let me know if I can help.
Been itching to try a big swim bait like yours, but forking out $20+ for one swimbait is Might have to do it if I want that lunker tho Amazing catch! Keep them coming! +1
