It's been my goal thru the Summer up until today to get my Dad on his first Striper after finally getting him to go out on the boat, and it seemed like nothing but bad luck plaqued us each time he came out, with the bait tank pump stopping on me once and losing my bait, to several fishing getting off the hook. We made plans this weekend to go out this evening, loaded up on dollar bills pretty quick and set off, running freeline planers and floats, about an hour into the trip, we heard water bust and looked back at the floats, and was presented with an awesome show, the Striper bust 5 or 6 times all over the Shad on top, and finally what looked like a small bomb going off in the water completely crushed the bait resulting in this 35 inch 20 pound brute and my Dad's very first Striper! I've never been so happy, for all he's done for me and my brothers and the years taking me hunting and always having the first shot when I was a kid, and our countless fishing trips on the rivers and streams and letting me get the first fish, it felt so great to be able to give him this even though it's just a drop in the bucket for what he's done for me!
