I mean by SamKam1.

Also went out tonight with a big zero. Alot more color on the water and saw alot of shad balls, but no fish working them. I hope in the next week or so it starts to break loose.

No problem at all! What an awesome fish..one for the wall for sure. It should only get better down there...we are going to hit Norfork this weekend and see what we can do over there. Good luck to you....hope you guys get some more big dogs! There is not a more fun freshwater fish to catch (and eat) imho!

Amen brother, I feel that the topwater action you get with these fish rivals any topwater action in the world. These fish hold nothing back when they hit that lure and the fight is incredible. Have been hooked on Topwater Striper fishing for over 7 years and I really do not think that it will ever get old.

43 1/2 inches long and right around 34-35 pounds. Did not get it on a scale until about midnight( 4 hrs after the fact). Caught on topwater Redfin (Smokey Joe color) in the Lost Bridge South area on 15 pound test. I am going out this weekend and hope the water has cleared a little, will post the results.
