I should have weighed in the 15.8 lb. Striper for the tournament but I didn't think that it stood a chance. Well, that fish would have taken 11th place. Oh well! Any way, I was out this morning and got 5 short Stripers in 3 hours. The east wind with seaweed and garbage put a damper on things. My prize for the Bluefish is an Okuma 9 ft rod and reel with a MSRP of $190.00.
