No challenge in striper fishing. Last one I caught in Dec. 45" 42 lbs at the Norwich Harbor on 8 lb test..I've fished stripers my entire life and have to say it is fun but lacks challenge...Little to figure out as oppossed to bass fishing...There are so many variables with bass fishing..Try some tourneys and you'll see. I'll be glad to go head to head with anyone in the Thames regarding stripers..
