Nice stripers but poor handling of the fish and release ,after a fight you want to hold the tail and wait for them to blast out of you're hand..
@StriperPursuit4 ай бұрын
@@davek677 did you even watch the video? Not a single fish floated up and they all blasted out. There is no need to revive a little schoolie after you straight up yank them out of the water, they arent even using energy to fight since they’re just being dragged on top. They have plenty of energy if you unhook them quick. You only need to revive bigger fish that actually fought. Watch 11:47 and 15:05. We revive fish when they need it and even those hardly needed time to swim off.

“Useless” is objective to the individual as some actually like the parts of the intro. Fast forwarding is an amazing option you can use which you may find more useful to you if a part of the video does not entertain you or yet simply just watch something else may be the better choice.

Im trying to get into striper fishing and imma be fishing at melton hill dam. What swim bait would you recommend
@StriperPursuit5 ай бұрын
If you're fishing there I would first recommend you check the water release schedule to see if they have any turbines on. No running water is gonna be a tough bite there but maybe early in the morning. Mostly any 4-5in swimbait will do but I prefer Algag's since they perform best at casting for me with 1 to 1.5oz jigheads.

@@StriperPursuit so if theres no turbines running dont bother going? And what about fort loudon
@StriperPursuit5 ай бұрын
@@SouthEastTNCatfishinh Yea, from my experience the stripers don't get too active without any moving water. Fort loudon usually had its generators running but it's a little difficult to walk all the way to dam and can be quite snaggy until you learn the spots to throw. Overall it's a better choice if the water is running.
