- I am mainly making this video to address why it is important for Lake Mead's ecosystem to keep small striped bass within the legal limit. Hopefully this video educate people of the current situation at lake mead.

I live on a 500 acre lake in Illinois and our crappie are stunted, have huge yellow bass and gizzard shad populations. We threw 10k pure stripers in there to see if the adults will knock down some of these problem fish. It'll take a few years to see what the adults will eat but I'm hoping to be catching some monster stripers in the near future. Great video again.
Thank you for sharing it. I'm assuming at this lake The striped bass population can't repopulate so theoretically you should have some really nice sized stripers lol
Good informative video! Like you said , catching as many juveniles as you can within the limits is definitely a help but not entirely the solution! There has to be another solution! Good job , you did your research and presented a excellent video!
Thank you I appreciate the kind words! I hope there will be another solution. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Before this starts. If the angler paid for a license and the fish is legal. Its they're right to keep the fish. Ok on with the film
Yes sir! All the fish I catch definitely are within the legal limit and I always have my license
Great information!!! On lake Texoma very few strippers reproduce, thanks for the video
Yeah it is pretty rare! During my research I did see that there was one lake in Texas where they naturally reproduce. Thanks for checking my video out man
I am moving to Henderson in a week. So glad that I found your videos. Top-notch.👍👍👍
It's your fish and as long as you aren't doing anything bad then it's fine.
Definitely!
I would wish striper natural spawn in my water lol
Yeah it is very rare and it does create some pretty nice fishing!
Only 68 away from 1000!
Yes sir. What I really need is watch time lmao
Thank you for this! I was getting tired of try to explain to people that want to raise hell about people keeping to many stripers. I'll just send them here
I'm glad this helps lol. That's a whole reason I made this video. I got on an argument with some guy that told me I was messed up for keeping everything and no matter what I told him he was insistent so I created this video with all the proof and everything haha
Great explanation!! Thank you for sharing it 👍🏾👍🏾
No problem. Thank you!
Agree 100 at leak mead .. but I don’t agree when fishermen keeps 20 pounders and up at Colorado river
100% agree. The problem isn't in the Colorado River the problem is at lake Mead.
Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen on Striper at Lk Mead
Excellent video, thanks
Did they ever consider poisoning the lake and starting over?
Thank you for checking me out and I'm really happy to hear that about this video!
it's my pleasure!
Out of everything I read I did not read anything about poisoning the lake. I'm sure the department of wildlife has considered it but there must be a reason why they're not. I would love to look into it though!
Thank You. That is some good information.
@@rwatts1350 anytime! I'm glad I could help
Bro if the fish is legal eat it. I hate it when people try to tell someone what they can do or can’t! Great video brother!!
I feel you right there man! If someone ever tries telling me again that I shouldn't keep striped bass in lake Mead I got this video on speed dial 😂
Thank you very much for the explanation am pretty sure everyone here or saw they're answer thank you.
I hope so! Thank you fear watching! I appreciate it 💪
Fantastic post production. Living in Maine I can’t imagine stripers being a nucinse! Thanks so much for this!
I know it's crazy to think about! Honestly this might be the only place in the world where they are a nuisance
Hey man maine here also!! Stripers are fun fishing in this state!
@@maizemaineiac1842 can you imagine no take limits on stripers!?!? They are sacred up here!!
They took over the lake and ruined the trout and bass fishing everytime you get a stripper or carp throw it on the bank now theres f n talapia in there ndow dont no nothing they should have stripper contests not smallmouth and largemouth. Strippers ruined the lake.
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately most people still throw striped bass back in the water. I see it done constantly. The only way we will be able to reach somewhat of a normal fishery where striped bass don't dominate the lake is if everyone never throws them back in but even that is speculation lol
Thanks for the refreshing info!! Tight lines brother! 🤙🏼
No problem! Thanks for checking out my video!
Great job, you keep all you can
That's the plan!
Good stuff as usual man! 🤙🏻 tight lines
Thank you!
I hear they're overpopulated the striper
Oh ya lol
Another awesome vid!
Thank you!
Nice very educational 😊
Thank you!
Very informative
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! I would like to learn more about the Colorado River system and how it relates to the Striper spawn. I know there is current generated by water in/out of the lake but I would assume not enough to make a difference at Lake Mead.
I'll add that to the list! A video detailing how stripers spawn in the Colorado River system. I read that it has something to do with the inflow and outflow of the damn but there was a lot more to it. It was actually pretty complicated but I didn't look too far into it. Thanks for checking my video out!
Thank You well done
Thank you for checking my video out!
Great Job! 😎
Thank you!
Cool video man
Thank you!
I am so sad every day to think about all the great fishing i missed because i wasnt alive yet. I reaply wish the trout hatcheries would come back.
@@flaminggorilla909 me too. Lake Mead isn't That bad but man it used to be so much better. Just yesterday I saw a photo from the '60s where two guys had a stringer with like 20 big largemouth bass. Definitely would be really cool to catch trout here too
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 Yeah. They used to stock a bunch of lakes near me and they hardly stock them at all anymore if even once a year. I could see a world where they start a new program to get people into fishing and revamp the trout fisheries and stockings. I doubt anything like that would happen in the current political climate but it would be amazing.
@@flaminggorilla909I completely get exactly what you're talking about. That's the reason I do what I do. I would love to get more people interested in fishing because if there was a greater demand we might actually see more hatcheries pop up. It seems like people are just trying to survive nowadays And it's just made fishing harder.
Smart. People don't realize keeping numbers down can sometimes really benefit a fishery.
Definitely! Especially at lake Mead!
Lots of really good information in here! Lots of research. This is really good!
Thank you! Hopefully this information helps encourages people in the Vegas area to keep their fish 🙏
What a great and informative video, the history of fisheries is so unique and interesting!!! We had a similar scenario in the late 80s early 90s in lake mcconaughy in Nebraska. Huge Stripers ate all the trout lol. Stripers didn't naturally reproduce though and died out. They've brought them back recently though, hopefully they get as big as they did in the 80s.
It seems like the stripers only really last in lakes or river systems with dams. I don't think most lakes would be able to sustain a striped bass population. Thank you for sharing
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 oh yah they can make it lakes. They grow big in Sanchris Lake and cedar lake in southern Illinois. They just need some cool water in the summer and plenty of food. So spring fed or no thermocline.
@@shaundiltz5821 That's really interesting. I'm surprised that they're able to repopulate and other lakes without dams. I guess if the lakes are just big enough or have a lot of current somehow lol.
@@SeaBassOutdoors7 I’m sorry I misunderstood. They aren’t spawning or repopulating. We stock them and they can get up to about 40 lbs. but none of their spawn lives. We have to restock.
@@shaundiltz5821 That makes a lot more sense lol
