Bob, where'd you catch those stripers on alt.binaries.pictures.fishing?
In
the
Chesapeake the minimum size is 18". I wish they'd lower it to 15 or so,
'cause I
sure hate throwing 17"ers back!

Colorado River. No size limit. I think there is a ten fish bag limit.
Further up in Lake Mead and Lake Powel there is no bag limit on stripers
at
all. They are way overpopulated. They are some what over populated here
too, but I think there is still a ten fish bag limit. I never keep more
than we can eat at a single meal anyway. I like my fish fresh.

How big do they get in a river like that? In the Chesapeake, 40+ inchers
are
caught in the spring. (Not that I wouldn't rather eat an 18" er, mind
you.)

"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

I have not heard of a big one in a long time, but on Lake Powel we used to
get into schools running from 8-12 pounds regularly. The last time I was
there we typically got into schools of 12-145 inchers shallow busitngs and
2-5 pounders deep.

Down here by Yuma the biggest i have caught rana bout 2 pounds, and you have
seen the schoolies. Basically 6 to 14 inches, but a firend of mine caught a
12 pounder a couple months ago in a tournament, I have heard of them
running as much as 30 down here and over 50 up at Powell, but I don't have
any first hand experience or personally know anybody who has caught one.
