We have been fishing Lake Murray for 25 years. I have fished from Texas to Va. and most states between them. I was raised in North Carolina on a farm. Moved to Lake Murray 24 years ago and started fishing for striped bass. It is a thrill each time I go out fishing. My biggest on Lake Murray has been 30+ lb. but I know there are much bigger in the lake. I had the pleasure to be a part of catching a 55 lb. striper off the coast of North Carolina.
