strippers on the Colorado

[klymons]

[cool]Heck, groupers are guppies compared to those steroid stripers in the Colorado River. It might be better to fish 'em with a crane & winch set-up and then weigh 'em at a truck scale. Of course, you couldn't put 'em in an ordinary Coleman cooler--you'd need one of those refrigerated tractor trailer rigs at least 25 feet long!. . .Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, but these suckers do get big. My personal best was only 9 lbs. hooked by accident when I was fishing for trout with an ultra lite spinning outfit on 2 lb. test. If I would have hooked a 60 pounder on that rig I would have ended up with a busted rod and spooled Big Time! Just out of curiousity, what's the biggest striper you ever caught?
