Ed was fishing the clear water in Padre Canyon for bass when he decided to throw a large shad colored swim bait against a steep wall. As the bait sank he saw a huge fish come up and eat it. The big striper dove straight down to 80 feet. It took Ed 10 minutes to work the fish back to the top.
Ed was prefishing for the bass tournament. His scale only went to 15 pounds. So Ed took a picture estimated the length at 3 feet and placed the big one back in the water to swim again.
The second big striper caught in march 2010 means that there are a good number of these 20 something fish out there. There will be more caught from now to the end of June.
