Nancy Trenz  Newburgh, NY

This nice early season striper was caught by Nancy the wife of Capt. Bob.  She boated it after a 15 minute struggle in which she exclaimed "this fish is really ticking me off".  Of course she is all smiles after it is in the boat thanks to some nifty boat handling by the Capt.as an incoming tide started to push us under the Newburgh Beacon Bridge.  Although the trip only yielded two other smaller fish whenever you get a chance to boat one this size it is really a lot of fun.  Good job Nancy.
