New Hampshire report - striper on the LC 110

[BenCantrell]

Was in New Hampshire last week for vacation and got a couple ocean paddles in with a borrowed Cobra Play sit-on-top. No rod holders so I just stuck my medium-light travel rod in one of the scupper holes by my feet. On my first outing I trolled a Rapala X-Rap 10, but didn't get any hits.

The next day I went out again with Ally joining me, and I switched my lure to a Lucky Craft 110. I trolled and took breaks to cast, had a few follows from small fish but they wouldn't bite. On the way back in, probably 30 yards from my landing spot, my rod bent back. I had just trolled over a submerged rocky area, so I thought I was snagged. My snag started to swim to the right though, and it turned into a not-big-but-also-not-small striper!

The striper wasn't a new species for my list, but the only one I've caught before was around 8 inches, so I was pretty happy to get a good upgrade.
