This is a California Delta Striper. There are not enough big West Coast Stripers like their East Coast Cousins, but at least I still get to fish for my old favorite… Sure miss them COWS!

Nice fish there Paul. I saw the videos and looked like Kat had a blast with that fish
This was my personal best. 38 pounds taken from a rock on the North Fork last spring. Safely released to breed some more.

At Lake San Antonio in the central coast region of California, I was pursuing Small Mouth Bass with a 3.5″ clear with sparkle straight tail finesse worm on a drop shot rig tied to 6 pound test with a 20 inch fluorocarbon leader on a small swivel. The hook was 11 inches above the 1/8oz weight. I saw a small serial at the shoreline edge and quickly pitched next to it and this striper immediately grabbed it like a ton of bricks. It ran off with about 200 yards of line , Then 50 yds,and then 150 yds. My 6 lb spinning outfit was clearly over matched but every thing held together and I managed to slip a net under him. it was an epic battle! 8.14 on handheld scale, not huge fish but a huge experience. The kind that memories are made of.
Rich, that is a GREAT fish on a 6lb spinning outfit!! Nice job and thank you for sharing your experience here!!!
Tight lines……
