Stripers on Lake Murray

 A nice striper from Lake Murray!  They are very agressive in the fall.  They attack top water baits!

 These two were in the cooler!  Stripers are good to eat if cleaned properly.  I release most of the fish that I catch but felt like I needed some fresh striper for the next fish fry.
 
 He's not as happy as I am.  Although that is my favorite hat and it blew off the other day.  LOST!

 This is the largest one that I caught this fall.  These guys put up a great fight and they are really fun on light tackle as shown in the picture.
 
 Here's another one.  Just showing the length by placing next to my combo.  It's hard to take interesting pictures when you're by yourself.

 In contrast, this is one of the smallest fish from the weekend.  Notice the puzzled look on my face?  Wasn't sure if I was getting both of us in the picture or not.

 A different night but another beautiful sunset.

And finally, a full moon that came up just and the sunset above was fading away.  Hope you all have enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed catching the fish.
