I don't know anything about the club. I just had it bookmarked for when life slows down a little.

I've tried the big flutter spoons, but have not been confidant in presentation. Never tried power reeling. I will now.

Drop it to the bottom and just crank the hell out of it coming up?

Yep!

No. Just good quality sonar.

It depends on the situation. The first Striper I ever caught was 43lbs on 14lb test. But that was in open water with almost no structure. I lost three big fish today on 15lb test leader. The first one just broke the line, so I backed the drag setting off on my rods. Two hit one right after the other. I couldn't stop the first one from getting into the trees and the second one was already in them and gone by the time I broke the first one off. I just changed all my leaders to 20lb Seagaur. Maybe fewer bites, but a much better chance of landing big fish.

Dang, that's impressive!

Hooking it was pure luck. I like to think landing it had something to do with skill.

The pic was taken by GON at Lake Lanier the day after I caught it in the Richard B. Russel dam tailrace at the North end of Clark's Hill.

Bear, you are a s Striper deity in my mind now. There; is no hint of sarcasm in that statement what-so-ever .

The biggest Striper my wife and I ever caught was several pounds below your biggest landed Striper.

Listen to the guides. They know far more than I.

The only thing I would suggest is, don't rule out the waters below the Buford dam.

Ha! If I was that I wouldn't have needed to start this thread. I fished for six days in that tailrace. Three weekends. That was the only strike I got.

OK, I'll shut up now

Took a friend and his son today. Didn't tear them up but the boy caught his first two Stripers and they were just the right size for a nine year old. His dad caught his first one and it was 10.8lbs.

A good day.
