ERICK ATTRIDGE MISERY ISLAND, MASSACHUSETTS
“This fish was my best of an epic weekend,” says Erick of his 46-inch, 50-pound striped bass. “The day before I caught this trophy, I landed six striper over 40 inches including another 46-incher that won the New England Kayak Fishing Silver Sow Tournament.” Photo: Erick Attridge
DAN MCGUIRE CANYON LAKE, ARIZONA
CASEY KLEIN FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY
“I sent this picture to prove that you can catch fish in an inexpensive kayak,” Dan brags in an email. He was fishing in his Future Beach Trophy 126 kayak with an Eagle Claw rod and reel combo. “This fish was typical of the bass we caught that morning,” he adds. Photo: Russ Hanson
“This 26-inch redfin pickerel exploded out of two feet of water to nail a Rebel topwater plug that Casey cast along the grass line of the Delaware Raritan Canal,” writes Casey’s son, Michael. Redfin pickerel are smaller than musky and pike, but offer great fun on light tackle. Photo: Michael Klein
