Matt Morgan caught and released this beast while fishing the Susquehanna Flats with his good friend Dan Dougherty on April 6, 2013. They estimated her to be 54-55″ and over 60 lbs. They caught about 25 stripers that day on light tackle with artificial lures in shallow water but this was by far the biggest. -m morgan

Three miles in off the Missouri river and sleeping on the ground for three days, we made our final stalk the last mile on our hands and knees, this was as close as we could get,I knew I would not get a second chance at this Bull, it’s now or never I made my shot at 480 yards. No guides, no horses, just a lot of determination and hard work. -Reddog300
