Put these three things together, pouring rain in the Arizona desert, alone on Lake Pleasant near Phoenix during the downpour, and fishing gear in your hands, and you too might have John Davis's mojo.
Arizona Game and Fish officials say Davis, a Phoenix angler, caught an inland state record striper at Lake Pleasant, 30 miles north of Phoenix. They say the striper Davis reeled in on Dec. 7 weighed 28.58 pounds and measured 45.7 inches.
Davis says he was fishing in torrential rain at the time and he was the only angler on the lake. Davis says he caught about 50 other stripers during his daylong fishing trip and released almost all of them.
Oh--and Lake Pleasant has a large campground that will fit even large rigs, including primitive to full hook-up sites. Get your fishing gear out and get moving.
