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!
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.
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 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.
Vietnamese? Cuisine? I'm half Chinese I usually just cut that red blood line out and steam cook it like steam in a bag w/ garlic, ginger, green onions, and leeks
Nice videos bro! Have you been there recently? Was thinking of trying it out this weekend. Wondering if it’s a good time and if there’s been any action 🔥🔥🔥
@@StriperPursuit yea man, tried it out today. It’s like you said, tons of Drums. That’s all anyone was catching. Crazy cause the shad were running up and down the bank all day. Couldn’t find the strippers though. I’ll try it again next week
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.
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 , get a fish gripper to grab your fish instead of using your bare hands. Don’t want a hook getting into you. Been there and done that.
Oh, oh well too late for that. Thankfully I hardly eat it but once or twice a year between a big family and other families. Never saw any signs there tho.
I’m not sure actually. The surrounding area is shallow with rocks but the turbine area is probably around 15 ft maybe. Pass the turbines and rocks it gets to about 7-8ft.
So is anyone going to tell them that down the river there is a sign that says dont eat the fish in those waters due to the funky shit spilling out into it? 😂 Goofy bastards will eat anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.

Great hybrid, congratulations!
That was a badass video, new subscriber here and fish for striper around tennessee too!
Nice, wished I could fish there more often without having to travel so far.

Thanks for the heads up!
Male female it doesnt matter. These fish were born in a hatchery. All landlocked striped bass are.
This looks quite fun =)
Y’all slayed it bro. Bought the Stradic FL and will have to put it to the test soon.
Heck yea man! I think you’ll love it!

That would be awesome! Too bad I'm about 4 hours away otherwise I would go there more often.
Would love to see them stripers pictures Jordan
Dang bro let me know next time you guys ride out there I wanna join too....
Me too man 😭
Lol, if the time is right again then I’ll give an invite!
When is a good time to visit this place and what lure? Love the action y’all got going on. 👍🏿
Right now
Swim baits
Killed it. Beast hybrid. Lkn needs hybrids that size.
I don’t even think there’s a chance that there is one that big in Norman with all these little ones lol.
@@StriperPursuit lol you ain't lying haha
Nice hybrids! I catch those here in Alabama too,but that last one you caught was huge! How did they taste? How did yall cook them?

How’s that 9ft power stick holding up? Got one on order hopefully I won’t be disappointed
Had it for years and it’s pulled in MANY fish of all size! Things a beast for it’s price! Still my go to set up for lighter tackle.
Hey bro you should make a vid on what you have in your tackle bag
Good idea, might have to
Nice videos bro! Have you been there recently? Was thinking of trying it out this weekend. Wondering if it’s a good time and if there’s been any action 🔥🔥🔥
they are there now, just not in big numbers. Have to grind it out for a few. A bunch of annoying drums hittin the swimbaits.

@@stevemartell3889 yup, just gotta get lucky with them. Good luck
Gahhhhhh DAYUMMM, you could’ve made like, 75+ fish tacos with that muhhhhh.
True that
In New York were only allowed one keeper striper no limit by you guys ?
These are freshwater stripers. In Tennessee we’re allowed 2 stripers over 15” after april 1st.
Cool I was just wondering really enjoyed the video
yes, two striper limit per day in Tennessee
One heck of a Hybrid man. You get a weight on it?
sadly, no. I was too lazy to run back to the car and I regret it. I'm guessing close to 13-14lbs maybe. It was extremly thickk!
Nice hybrid!

Is rn a good time to go for white bass or striped bass?
If the water is running then yes.
Watching your video
Al gag is the best.
What month did you go there
Where did you buy your tackle box from?
I believe I got it from walmart
What brand is the lure?
Algag
@@StriperPursuitthe 3" or 4"?
@@ShawnLor 3”, 4”, 5” and 6”! All of them!! But 4” works for all pretty much.
How many ounces was the jig head you were using?
Most of the time it was 1.5oz but I like using 2oz too depending on where I wanna hit in the current.
Brother, where can I buy a cane of the one you use?
Bass Pro Shop
Thanks I appreciate it
$1200 Combo......... get a $20 fish gripper.
If it works then no problem right? Lol
@@StriperPursuit , get a fish gripper to grab your fish instead of using your bare hands. Don’t want a hook getting into you. Been there and done that.
Any info of rod and reel.?
All in the video description.
There is a sign posted not to eat these stripers
Oh, oh well too late for that. Thankfully I hardly eat it but once or twice a year between a big family and other families. Never saw any signs there tho.
catch and release
Anyone with a boat has seen the sign, but cool to know you only eat human shit once or twice a year 🤦
Is this video from last year?
Nope, April 2 2021
@@StriperPursuit do you know when is good time to fishing there in this year(2022)
Can’t say for sure but maybe around mid to late April. They should for sure be there in May though.
@@StriperPursuit thanks bro
Is there open at night
Yes
What rod u using bro?
Offshore Angler Powerstick 9’

I’m not sure actually. The surrounding area is shallow with rocks but the turbine area is probably around 15 ft maybe. Pass the turbines and rocks it gets to about 7-8ft.

Probably around end of this month until end of may.
