Wholly smokes! I hadn't seen that fish before, a true monster.
The good news for Mead is that bigger forage should grow bigger stripers, much like Willow but not dependent on the (non-existent) weekly feedings by the hatchery. Wouldn't it be awesome if it got to the point where the stripers in Mead were readily feeding on those huge gizzards! Much like the stories I have heard of back int he 70's when people were catching 20# stripers out of Mead on a regular basis....
