To each, his own. I like fishing for smallmouth bass. They can be very fun.
However, given the opportunity to fight a healthy striper in the 20+" range? I'll take the striper!
This year the stripers should be in phenomenal condition. As for tablefare, as long as you take propper care of the filets, striper is very, very good. Just cut all the red strip out, and you're good to go! You should be able to "accidentally" pick up some walleye while trolling for stripers too.
The OP's handle is "liketrolling". I can't imagine someone with that name not having an absolute blast out trolling for stripers! This should be right up his alley!
Dubob -- If you are comparing bass and walleye to strippers.....I don't know what to say. That's just....well....different? I don't know...
But stripers are pretty dang good. If you get rid of the red strip off them, they are pretty dang close to smb and lmb. I'll give you the walleye and crappie -- those are pretty hard to beat, by any standard.
