Hybrid Heaven

Returning client Rocky brought along his friend Al for a Legends Outdoors trip to pursue stripers.  These two guys are avid hunters and fishermen and were planning on going turkey hunting the following morning making it a fins then feathers trip.  They were 100% committed to pursuing stripers and stuck with it in a cold and damp day with continuous rain the entire outing.  Cast after cast amidst the rain drops peeled off their reels and through the guides as they traversed the lake.  Once they hooked the first one and felt the lightning type strike, they became oblivious of the drenching that they were getting as the skies continued to open up. This duo had an extremely good day with ten stripers in all hooked!  They wound up landing six rod buckling beauties, which four of them were hybrids.  They lost the other four, but that is commonplace with how ferocious these awesome specimens fight.  Their goal was filled by far as they had an overall great day and are looking forward to trying it again next year.
