Catching and Cooking Freshwater Striped Bass (stripers) at Wallenpaupack

We traveled to beautiful lake Wallenpaupack to catch striped bass! Wallenpaupack is a tough fishery, and after spending a few days and getting completely skunked, we decided to get some help. We joined up with Bernie from Legends Outdoors ---
guidelegends.blogspot.com and Wildcat Outdoor Gear www.wildcatoutdoorgear.com --- To catch some stripers.

Good job, Bernie.

I fished with that guide once before. Caught a Hybrid Striped Bass and a couple nice Brown Trout and some nice Smallies and nice Perch.

I fish the Lackawaxon which is a river that runs off the lake. The lake is too big for me to fish except for ice fishing. I'm hoping the ice is thick this coming winter so I can get back out

Great video. I learn so much from your videos.

I recently finished watching 100 of your videos and realized I rarely comment. I pray I have conveyed how important these videos are to me. You are truly a great creator and I feel like you are only going to keep rising! This is such a great video BTW!

If anyone took me fishing that early that it's still dark out, I'd throw them off the boat.

How did Bernie catch the live bait ? What did he use to attract the bait ? The light? Were you at the dock to catch the bait ? Thanks BC

[@jeffb9514]

Nice

[@sanelsn]

What type bait did you guys use. I see they look like 5 inch minnows.

I live about 10 miles from the lake, haven't really fished it much just a few times. My buddy who lives on the lake tells me is pretty polluted, what's your opinion? I know there is a old town underneath the lake.

John, you have to watch the amount of fish you eat anywhere in Pa. Heavy metals such as mercury are in the fish. Just watch how much you eat. The state has recommendations on how much to eat. Also, the fish size is a factor.
