While I was with my kids in the Southeast corner of AL, I got to watch my younger son do some fishing and saw him catch a beautiful striper! Thing weighed in at about 3 or so pounds. Really got a chance to appreciate the outdoors for a couple of hours. (I couldn't do any actual fishing as I am not licensed in AL, so he and his step-dad did the fishing.) By the time we got there, his step-father had already caught several channel cats, some of them a good 6 or 7 pounds! It was a good day.
