Striper Pics with Lance Sasser

I took my wife and youngest son out with Lance Sasser back the 3rd week of Sept. First time I ever met Lance,but I have to say he knows his business,fine fellow and great guide,we don't get to Striper fish on our own much since I got hurt in a work accident and had a heart attack to boot.
He had marked fish the evening before and we were limited out in an hour.Thanks to Lance Sasser for a fun trip.
Forgot to mention ,my son had one maybe pushing 30 lbs up to the boat and let his rod tip down,let the fish get under the boat and cut the line.

Great picture and yes Lance is a first class man in every way. He is also in my opinion the best striper fisherman on lake Cumberland.

Now if I could get you to take that ugly shirt off all would be good, LOL

Here's the best Striper recipe I've ever tried over the years,I got it from some guys up around Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.It works on any bass as well.

4 pieces striped bass (approx 6-8 ounces)
1 cup red onion sliced in 1" slices
8 pieces thick sliced bacon
8 Tbsp. butter
1 cup sliced fresh baby portabello mushrooms caps
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
sprinkle Hungarian paprika
1 quart golden ginger ale


Soak the fish overnight in golden ginger ale, before you prepare
the dish rinse the fish and prepare as listed below.

In a pan, cook bacon; save drippings. Crumble bacon; set aside.
Cook mushrooms and onion in drippings till tender. Place fish in
a baking dish. Combine mushrooms, onion, butter and tarragon. Spread
on top of fish; sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350o for approximately
20 minutes until fish flakes easily. Garnish with bacon. Serves
4.

Note you can use any type of bass with this recipe ( rock bass,
small mouth, large mouth sea bass etc )

Thanks for the recipe Have to give it a try
