    Brother you just convinced me to take a 1-2 man trip to Tennessee for my next striper fishing destination. I got free flights to Tn but never saw a reason to till now. Thanks for the detailed gear in your description and fishing destination info. What a action packed video this was. Subscribed!

    If I had a way to send you pics I would, I have fished these dams since 95 , I have a pic of a 57 and several over 50lbs there is a hump near there down river where the huge females sit and wait for the fish to come to them, if you are ever down there I will show you, also have caught flathead over 70 lbs there

    I grew up in Oak Ridge, TN. Strippers hit hard, but I’m not a fan of them. If you want the monsters head a few miles down river to Bull Run Steam Plant. Fish where the plant releases warm water. The fish get massive in there.

    • @StriperPursuit
      @StriperPursuit  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I didn’t keep any hybrids but we kept a few stripers. For 30” stripers we usually just fillet them and then bake them. After that we mash them up and mix them with vegetables and sauces. Asian people call it “larb” and it’s a delicious way to cook fish that taste fishy.

  • @MikeHensley-sc3ns
    @MikeHensley-sc3ns 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Was gonna say let them breed unless a gill hook and they won’t make it…. It’s 2 per person… the limit. So This river has 2 types and struggled for a while with the strip. Local here… fishing is better at Fort Loudon.10 minutes away.

    • @StriperPursuit
      @StriperPursuit  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea, if I can I only keep a limit once a year since those fish ain’t exactly safe to eat often. If I go anymore throughout the year it’s all CnR. Melton is just easier to fish if they’re there.

    • @StriperPursuit
      @StriperPursuit  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Mostly everyone who fishes there knows that. I’m not local to TN and I know. I’ve spoken to TWRA and from my understanding you’ll be alright if you eat fish that size once a year and have small portions. I share the fish we keep with multiple families and usually only come to TN a few times a year to fish. The smaller ones are much more preferred since they carry less of the toxins but I get what I can get sometimes.

      “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.
