I think she lied... just kidding, I heard about this awhile ago just wish they would hurry up and let us know. Going to head that way this weekend to catch some 22"ers!

lol jiggy, you dont think they would trick us do you
just got back to the house a few miutes ago, IF the limit wouldve been 22 inches it would have been a very quick morning.....but if it would have been 22 inches i wouldnt have aything for lunch either. i still think my personal limit will be a little higher than 22 inches....not suggesting anything to anybody else....just me. at least until the water warms up and they are overly stressed from the fight.

I agree, 100%. Bought all this heavy (axxx) gear 3 years ago for LC stripers and now were're talking 22 inch fish. Maybe I'll just switch off to my 9 weight fly rod ,and toss a streamer; might be a little more sport in it...

Boy I remember the day back in the 80`s that the avg size was 34 in,,what a shame

[stripernut]

Yeah those were the days. We actually spooled penn 320s with 50 lb mono ,and worried sometimes we were "under-gunned" ! Lol. On the bright side my daughter caught a 39 inch , 24.7 pounder last monday so there are a couple gooduns swimmin around. That is her second ky trophy fish this year, a giant brownfish and this striper, one to go for masyer angler in the same year. 22 inch stripers are a sad state of the union for sure though

Congrats to the daughter, but you didn't post a photo!

On the Penn reels, same here, have me boat set up with Penn 320's and 30 Lb mono. Total overkill for today's striper population, but I do occasionally catch the big one, but then to my distress I wake up.

[stripernut]

Thats funny gary. I wish i could count the times i woke up in a panic because i was almost out of line ! Lol. I still cant post photos......the best i can do is send the daily catxh pics to hurricane bob . ........while he is at work !!! Lol the picture text usually is titled "wish you were here ". Sure am glad he is a good sport.......he knows where im docked

Hey Stripernut. I'll post them for you if you want. Send to my phone, I'll download and add your comments. Glad to help if it works for you. Just be sure you tell me which one's you want posted.....I'd hate to accidentally post pictures of all those 6 inch Stripers you snagged with the Redfins that had the rack on the back of it. :-)

Good news is you don't have to worry about confusion. Nobody on here would ever think I caught that many fish.

[stripernut]

Hahahahaha......and it wasnt a redfin it was a thunderstick

[panfish]

Does anyone know why the average fish size has been reduced so much?? Is it due to the dam draw down or does the problem go back farther?? Is is to much pressure, too little education, any ideas??
