20.35 lb rockfish from midlake on shiners.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...157f578c61.jpg

11.30 hybrid same place, same bait.

Both fish released and instantly kicked out of my hands when placed in the water.

Atta boy!!! nice fish!

That's a couple of really nice catches! The striper is fantastic for priest.

I would say that would make a tourney winning pair most any day of the week out there. Well done.

For sure you did not have Jimmy in the boat.


Nice fish!!!!!!!

Damn Merv. Leave some for us weekend guys!

Nice!....lot of fight there.


Congrats

nice!!!

Excellent.

Perfect.

Awesome day out there, Merv! What's this releasing thing all about? How do you make fish tacos if you release the fish? :D

It's been a long time since I've seen a report of a 20 pound rockfish out of JPP, very well done! The Hybrids I catch out there are bigger than the rockfish I catch in that lake haha

Well done! Great size rockfish and hybrid!

Nice fish Merv!

Just an FYI though, once a fish has been placed on a stringer it is considered in your possession and part of your creel. Those fish can't be released. It aids in reducing delayed mortality.

Guess that was an "OOPSIE" on my part.

You can tell us that you and Jimmy had taco Tuesday at your house. We don't judge you for eating striped fish :D

LMAO! taco tuesday! that would be a boat load of tacos!

If I had caught those the delay until mortality would be very short :D

Nice fish. It has been a couple years since I have found stripers on Priest. Last time I did I caught 3 that all bottomed out my 30 lb bogas. Not by much, but for sure weighed just over 30. They were showing up at about 1:45 am on a point and would crush a 5" bone redfin.
