Lol.......likewise. Yes I reckon we have both been on this board together for awhile now! My assumption is that you are spending most of your time over in the turkey forum!
Finally got to go and catch one

Being on the water is always good. We were up your way yesterday on CHL but playing not fishing. Good to see the shoulder healing up.
Nah I don't stay on here much anymore but FB really sucks and the turkey hunters on there have turned into the whiniest bunch I've ever seen. I'm so sick of everyone telling everyone else what to kill and how to kill it!!
And I got another boat back in JUNE .

Lol.....the facebook turkey hunters are a horrible bunch for sure. Always crying and complaining about everything.

Glad you got to get back out there!
I used to love fishing for them below Percy Priest when I was in college in Nashville. Destroyed them in the spring after some good rains below Ross Barnett in Jackson, MS for several years.
Haven't gotten to fish for them in a couple decades, and I miss it for sure!

Ross Barnett was my home lake before I moved to Antioch last November. Stripers there are hard to come by now
Awesome!

Had one week back in '01 where we got 14 inches of rain in a couple days, they opened all the gates, and even the parking lot was under water. I was the fellow out there in chest waders standing on top of the submerged picnic table. Caught over 500 stripers and hybrids between 5lbs and 15lbs that week.
personal best striper below the spillway was 26lbs. Back then the lake record was 29lbs and I was SO trying to break it!
PB below Priest was 35lbs, but I hooked several well over that who spooled me.
Are you a Mississippi native Clifford? I'm from Pascagoula or as some now call it. Possumville.
Mega, I didn't know they ever had stripers on the Stones River below Percy Priest or on Percy Priest. I was assuming you probably meant Old Hickory lake because I know for certain they are there.
I hooked a nice one there a few weeks ago when it was 1,000 degrees outside. Pulled the hook.
I guess I just forgot about them. I was wrong, they are there. Just got through texting with my fishing buddy and he laughed at me. Said of course! We've caught them together. Just nothing really big. I have caught some big hybrids on Priest but just forgot about the smaller striper there.

No, I am actually from LA, but lived in MS for over 20 years.

They just restocked stripers and hybrids in Priest. It will be a few years before the stripers get much size to them. The ones that might be in there from before are probably bigger, but hard to find.
Stripers and hybrids definitely on Priest. My buddy lives down the road from where I used to by the lake and catches them all the time. Been a few times over the years with him and have mostly caught the hybrids.

Excellent! I think I recognize that water. And yes, I have been down the very painful rotator cuff road. Very happy you are on the mend!
Did anyone else zoom in to see the reflection in Gravey's glasses? Better not let your wife see your fishing partner:
Nice one Gravy! I love the fight of a good hybrid like that. They never quit!!
