A friend on mine's son caught this 18.9 lb striper Friday evening at Lake Talquin on an Alabama Rig.

Sshhhh! Don't tell anyone

Nice stripper, I think they were introduced to Lake Talquin in the early to mid 80's. I have read that as many as 10-20 are stocked annualy in Talquin.

FWC stocked over a million fingerlings in Talquin this year....

Great fish. Gotta love the bama rig. I plan on trying one this weekend in the salt.

Nothing since the Civil War has caused such wailing, moaning and gnashing of teeth by grown men

The way some people talk about it, you'd think it was the same as dynamiting fish.

If Sheriff Larry Campbell finds out there are strippers at Lake Talquin, the number of succesful hookups will drop to zero, pronto.

O.K. NOW I KNOW WHAT A ALABAMBA RIG IS, WE CALL THEM KINGFISH SPREADS. I DO NOT FISH FOR KINGS NOW BUT DID AT ONE TIME WHEN WE LIVED IN S. FLA.

I have heard that Alabama rig is so good it has been prohibited from tournament fishing. Not sure how true that is though. Nice Striper though. JW
