Our apologies for the long delay in posting a catch of the day, but there's no question this is a worthwhile fish for the honorific.  Pulling planer boards and gizzard shad Captain Rocky Fulmer with Little River Guide Service (706-210-3474) caught this 25-pound striper on Lake Hartwell, a fish that would certainly have put him in contention in a recent tournament if it had come during the event.  While it's probably not a pattern for catching numbers of fish right now, pulling big baits certainly gives you the chance at a monster.  Thanks for sharing, Rocky!
