Bentley James, an 11-year-old from Marshall County wrangled a monster striper during a fi shing trip on December 27, 2021. Bentley, along with his family, went on a fi shing trip with Justin Beene, who owns JB Striper Guide Service. They were near Oakview by the islands for approximately two hours catching small fi sh. It was not long after when Bentley noticed his pole was bending from the weight of a fi sh on the line. The 11-year-old ran to his pole and reeled in a 31 inch, 16 lbs. striper completely by himeself. Courtesy photos
