Back from my striper trip. Check out the hog I caught!

This is the only striper I caught

Place we stayed at was super nice. Hillside Cabins in Grand Lakes, Kentucky. $89 a night for a 2 bedroom cabin.

We may have overpacked a bit....

Lake Barkley Dam. Didn't catch a darn thing

Caught a couple huge carp at Kentucky Lake Dam

Went to the Nature Preserve at the Land Between the Lakes, and saw Buffalo!

The last full day we were there, Me and dad were driving around looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. The sausage I brought was bad. It tasted like Popcorn. It was very weird. Anyways, found a marina with a restaurant. Turns out it wasn't open till 11, but we ran into the marina owner. He gave us the go ahead to fish off the docks that evening.

This thing was there. It was awesome looking.

This was the Marina Owner's boat. It was at least 50 foot.

Finally got into some nice Large Mouth off the docks at the marina. Took home 7 to clean up.

Looks like you still had a good time even though the stripers didn't cooperate.

Also...... there is NO such thing as over packing for a fishing trip.

I've caught smaller, so don't feel bad. Looks like you still managed to enjoy other aspects of your trip besides the striper fishing. Hope you did anyways.

Don't need to see pictures of your bait!

Did you get that striper weighed on a certified scale to make sure you didn't break any world records? :LOL2:

It was a good time. Spent some good time with my dad, ate some good food, and hung out with a friend and his dad.

That dock we fished at on the last day had a really nice bar and grill. After it got dark and the fishing died off, we went and had a real nice meal. Service kinda sucked, but they had beer battered onion rings and fries that were delicious. Waitress gave me a hard time for getting a red stripe instead of a bud light. I was on vacation, and I wanted a danged vacation beer.

bad day of fishing is better than a good day at WORK.

Waitress gave me a hard time for getting a red stripe instead of a bud light.

LOL. Bud Lite isn't even beer! Stupid waitress.
