Next up was MFCC member Dex Chadsey, who picked off a bright 20 pounder this morning in rough conditions.

Take a close look at the "nose" of Dex's fish above. The fish has an indented face. Do you think this fish was born like that? Perhaps he's been caught before?​

I'm not 100% sure, but I have caught several of these "indented" stripers before.

Captain Cullen Lundholm is currently sitting in first for the Best Report category for recording this audio report that has so far been shared 67 times on Facebook.
