I fished Del Valle today going after bass. The lake was fairly blown out by all the rain and I didn't get a single bite on the bass, but in the afternoon I got whomped on the huddleston by a solid 18.4lb striper }(. My drag was basically locked which made for a good line test for my 25lb triple fish. That and the fact that the fish had the entire bait inside it's mouth and it's mouth was shut :9 The fight was less than a minute. That's the first striper I've caught at Del Valle and it was a kick in the pants for sure. The lakes need a few weeks to stablize for the bass I think.
