(Note: Had the wrong date on this post earlier!!)
Got out on the river this morning with Ryan G,...quite foggy but otherwise perfect conditions. Only problem was that someone forgot to tell the stripers! 
Ryan got one schoolie in the first 20 minutes and that was it for the rest of the morning.
Had some time to kill in the afternoon so I headed back out for a few more casts and was rewarded with this one! 31" & 13#!!

Nice fish Mark!
I'm with Esox, I thought that backround looked familiar. Maybe after my visit to the dink factory tomorrow morning I'll stop and chuck some houdinis through there  |

Yeah,..you guys have good eyes! My buddy in work has been bugging me for a year now to get him a "striper for dinner",..so I finally delivered and we met there in the commuter lot to give him the fish! 
I got this one on a swimbait (6"). My good-sized stripers this year have all come on either swimbaits or white Houdini's (9" size).

No problem Ryan,...just FYI, that fish came from the same exact spot where you and i had made a couple of hundred casts earlier that day!!
