Jeanne and I hit Lanier today, fishing was still slow but we did a little better than we have been lately. The highlight of the day was Jeanne boating a 24" striper. He ran off 50 feet of line in a blink, like it was nothing, against a very firm drag, before she got him turned around. We didn't have a scale good enough to weigh it. It's girth was average looking. Any guesses for weight? We were thinking somewhere between 8 and 10lbs.
Also want to say thanks to Jostasu for his long-ago post about vertical jigging, which I remembered and decided to try next to a tall tree stump in 25' of water. Rewarded with a 13" spotted bass within a few minutes of trying the technique. He took it on the fall, John, as you said, and I saw it happen when the line went slack before it should have. Thanks!
