Last Sunday, I drove down to Beaver Lake Arkansas to go freedive/spearfishing.
Got lucky on Monday and stoned this nice Striper. She was 45" long and very fat. I didn't have a scale with me, but a Striper guide saw me lifting it out of the water. On bumping water his scale showed between 46-50 pounds. I should have taken more pictures, but took a selfie with my phone.
It will be hard to top this one for 2018
(Sorry, can't seem to show it upright)
