Beverly Triton cow striper

[dinscore]

Arrived at Fort Smallwood early yesterday afternoon to find a "Closed on Wednesday" sign, so I punched in "Beverly Triton" on the GPS and headed that way. Was on the water at 3pm and immediately found fish in 10ft of water. I stuck to trolling a 1/2 oz spro jig with chartreuse trailer along with a rat-l-trap. The spro got a vast majority of the action all afternoon with most fish landed in the 18-26" range, with the average size steadily rising through the evening. With Beverly Triton closing at 7pm I started to pedal the Slayer Propel back to the launch around 6. In 8ft of water the depthfinder lit up with VERY LARGE fish readings. A few moments later the rat-l-trap rod bent over. The pics tell the rest of the story...





(BTW, I have a 2013 Jackson Big Tuna for sale in Black Widow color. It has a rudder-kit installed, has been garage-kept, and is in great condition. Will be posting pics in the for-sale section here on Sunday. Message me at dinscore@gmail.com if you're interested in hearing more.)

Love the tail shot, that generates some power. Well done

Great report - thanks - and congrats on the nice fish!

Awesome fish, dude! Did you get a length measurement?

[dinscore]

Unfortunately didn't get a length measurement. Was too focused on getting a good pic and making sure it recovered well in the water. BTW, highly recommend rigging up a single-clasp stringer when these big guys are around (I attached a single fish-stringer clasp to an old phone charger coiled-cord). After landing the fish I quickly got him on the stringer and back in the water to recover. As he got his second wind I readied the cell phone for a pic. After snapping a few shots he went right back in the water until he kicked enough to swim off on his own. Watching him swim away was *almost* as fun as catching him :-)

Holy cow! Great fish, looks like they're beginning to reach the South river and the Severn.

Well... I guess I know where I'm going Saturday, lol.

Great fish!

Outstanding catch. With fish at Ft Smallwood and Beverly Triton right now, there are multiple options for kayak anglers.
