Headed out to the Lanier yesterday with two first class fishermen. Met up with Dan and Brett for some post front Striper fishing.
We headed out to the first spot and by 9:00am a planner board shot off like a rocket launcher. Brett stuck it to him, and being the nice guy that he is asked me if I wanted the first fish. I tired to say no, but he insisted and the fight was on. The fish had a full head of steam and Dan was getting pretty excited so I knew the fish was big. I fought him for a while until something happened and the line broke on the leader. It was like someone had died and only prayed I would get a chance to redeem myself. I wasnt sure how long I could handle losing a big fish my first time out with these pro's.
A few hours later we had moved on to another area and were pulling baits shallow over some points. Then like music to our ears the drag starts singing that tune we all love. I ripped the rod up and it was time to make things right. I fought the fish for about 10 minutes praying that things would be different this time, well it was, and I landed my new personal best weighing in at 27lbs!
