I hadn't really sent pictures or stories about it to any papers so that's probably the reason nobody has seen anything about it. As for a belly full of trout....I would suspect but I wasn't about to cut her open and find out before I could get her weighed at the hatchery the following morning. No real secret where it was caught from. Really it was an amazing night as I was fishing with my two brothers and everybody had 40 plus pound stripers in the boat. Yes I am one of the seemingly growing group that has caught one striper and it happened to be (or will be after confirmation) a state record. I will say that as a trout fisherman I was totally unprepared for any fish like that. Absolute blast and I will be fishing on both sides of the dam for years to come God willing. Also on a lighter note....after eating some of the others we brought back my wife told be she had darn better be able to eat the next one I bring home. Just another reason to go fishing again I guess.

Had a heck of a night on Bull Shoals last weekend. 60.55lbs!
