[Feathers and Fins]

No fish in Monte Ne so Yak and I ran up to point 12, my wonderful boat decided to break down and no way to fix it on the water so we decided to troll back down toward Hickory and not 2 minutes out I popped another big striper 44.3, they were thick up there but with engine trouble it was best to get back to the ramp. Thanks to several people who offered and helped get us back. At the ramp the hood came up and a stinking blown fuse was it. Oh well the man upstairs still blessed a great fish.

BTW It had at least 5 to 6 Gizzard shad in it all about 6'' long and it was a male not one egg but plenty of juice.

Boat trouble and still a pig of a fish! Nicely done but can't help but be envious.

[Feathers and Fins]

Heh boat troubles happen, you know what Boat stands for lol. But hey as much as I use it and abuse it in all season and a fuse is the most that's gone wrong I wont complain one bit.

[M_Taylor]

Yes I do. My 2013 spring season was blown due to much more than a fuse. Glad thats a cheap and easy fix. We need you out on the water so you can tell us where all the fish are!

Great catch and glad boat double was mininal

This fish had an attitude. I have caught or been present for several 30-40 lb class stripers in the past 3 months and this one was in a class of it's own for fighting prowess. I actually thought Fins hooked into a paddle fish by the way it was running. If not for the ability to chase him with the trolling motor this fish would have spooled him.

Man great fish! Congrats and thanks for posting the pic.

Also glad it was just a fuse.

Great fish F&F! Glad it wasn't a major issue with your boat.
