17lb Striper caught in Nassau River


David Hagins and Debby Portier report of great Striper fishing in the upper reaches of Nassau River. They've caught several over the last 2 months in the 8-17lb range with David hauling in this 17 lb'er last Tuesday afternoon. He was slow trolling at low tide with a YO-ZURI plug when he hooked up with the big fish and according to Debby, he may have had an "incident" where he was in and out of the boat while battling the fish! I haven't gotten the whole story but evidently David ended up a little wet, but still landed the fish. Debby calls David her "Striper King". David learned his Striper fishing techniques from his dad and employed them yesterday to pick up another nice fish, this one weighing in at 11 lbs!.
