I just had to show you guys this 11.7#, 30" striper I caught at Texoma this morning on my 9', 7-wt fly rod with a silver/white clouser. If I could have found a certified scale near Texoma it would have been a new lake fly fishing record. https://i707.photobucket.com/albums/ww79 ... 34bf0c.jpg

I caught it using a sinking tip line in 10'-14' of water, fishing on the bottom.

That striper turned into a couple of nice fillets, Paul! The little largemouth will taste good as an appetizer.

Yeah, but they're going to taste VERY GOOD! (Oh, they were both very alive on the stringer. It wasn't until I put them in the ice chest and covered them with ice that they turned very dead. )

PCBs and lead add spice to the flavor of the fish.

That is why Cliff looks so young for a near 70 year old.
