That's good size striper I'd guess at around 40" and would have no problem eating 1.5 lb bass. How on earth as a real bass angler would you let the fish go knowing it will feed on the fish you really are there for. Should killed it or released it in zoar or some other toilet. Not our best lake in the state.

If you voted for Malloy your an idoit if you voted for Obama you just an ass hole and should be striped of your citizenship!
This country has room for but one flag..The american flag..This country has room for but one language the english language. Theodore Roosevelt
people saying it looks fake with the hold is just weird.. he is using two hands with arms close to the body not extended... totally normal for someone to hold a fish that size that way. the video will show its not photoshop. the question is where. i believe it is totally possible for someone to put one in the lake and have it grow really big.
but why say its not possible to be candlewood without getting more info.. CT has stripers. all it would take is some dude dropping a schoolie into the lake. is that sooo crazy to think thats possible? and funny buck call is worried about one striper in the lake when the tournament guys will fish beds and drop them off at a launch 6 miles away. that will do more damage than one big striper ever could.

Plenty to eat in Candlewood for a striper that size with all of the herring, trout, bluegills, etc. They have been caught that size in Lake Housatonic due to guys catching them below the dam and dumping up in the lake. Plenty of deep water to hold over in the winter similar to what they do in the lower Housatonic and Hudson rivers. That said, from the picture it looks like the foliage on the brush in the background is too far along to be a Candlewood shoreline. The two rivers may be that far along in the lower sections. Virtually all of the big reservoirs in Virginia, N.C., and S.C. have both land-locked regular stripers that size and the swipers (white bass - striper hybrids). The spring has sprung down there so an earlier picture from even March would show the same background. I would also think a striper that size would have shown itself on the surface at some point chasing herring or trout around, anyone hear any rumors like that on Candlewood?

tough to say the amount of huge carp that breach in that lake you probably would just assume it was a carp. striper would be your last thought. doesnt make it impossible. cant wait to see the video and get more detail.
