I caught this 20lb Striped Bass at Raccoon Lake today! I had 4 of my girls out in the boat today and we were mostly just running around bouncing on the waves like they always love to do. I decided to troll a little bit, just to see what might bite. First, I had a 5 or 6 pound channel cat, but I was using light tackle (fishing for white bass) and the line broke right at the boat. I then rigged a couple crank baits on heavier rods and trolled back where I caught the catfish. After passing through into deeper water, BOOM! This guy hit the lure! I was very careful fighting him and ultimately, my oldest girl netted him. I had to help her lift him into the boat. Anyway, the girls got a huge thrill. They've never seen a fish that size before, and it had been many years since I had, either. THis was a great way to spend Father's Day!
