Striped bass caught while jigging, trolling, and using light tackle in Peoria, Maricopa County

The sun rises over Lake Pleasant. A fishing boat glides across calm waters. Rods are cast. Lines tighten. A striped bass breaks the surface. It thrashes and dives. The angler grips the rod. The fish fights. Muscles strain. The net dips. Success. A silvery striped bass lies on deck. Scales gleam in morning light. High fives all around. Another cast. Another hit. The day is just beginning. Fish are biting. Memories are made. Lake Pleasant lives up to its name.
