Never had a very good one and got addicted to catching strippers this year. Our best pod we put 14 in the boat between 3 of us,I'm what you say "All in now". Never really fished for stripes but after that awesome 2 days on c- land in the jumps I'm hooked.We go to Canada once a year and got in to a bunch of pike feeding in a grass bed that lasted about an hour and half, that was undescribeable
