TomCod,
When I saw that fish, I was thinking the same thing. Trolling for em in my kayak, like I do for halibut. I saw on bass pro shops that the rebel minnow(similar to the fastrac, but not broken back) had the record striper(59lbs) out of the Colorado river. And a 79lber out of the atlantic ocean. Who Knows, maybe i'm gullable or just dreaming. One thing I do know is striper fishing aint easy. I've made thousands of casts pursuing those things in fresh and salt, but never hooked up. My brother caught a couple last year though, before that, I thought they were a myth. -Phil
