What Size Striper Gives the Best Fight?

[Goose]

Beside holdovers I find all class fish put up a good fight, whether its teen fish in the spring or big fish in the fall

[Tagger]

I always thought at 30" a bass starts running a little drag .. On medium heavy gear .. prefer 30# but at 30" I think the fish starts to represent itself pretty good ..

I've had 15lb fish give me all I could handle when hooked on my "skinny water" outfit. That slow side to side head shake of a 30+ thats sideways in an Inlet current is hard to top.

But to me it's the 20+lb range rubbing the plug on the bottom, dodging rocks while you are standing on a rock, dodging waves, at night, deeeep in a southside M cove.

25-30# for sure..Fight like a basturd....All the fish I caught in the high 30's and 40's come in like an anchor.......Winch 'em up////
