Hop aboard with Michael for a trophy Striper hunt on Lake Texoma like no other. These trips are all about chasing size—not numbers. Michael trolls big baits for big fish, targeting Striped Bass 30 inches and up. With baits this large, anything under 16" is rare, and the goal is simple: get each angler two keepers over 20"—and maybe even a once-in-a-lifetime trophy.

Trolling is laid-back and scenic until the rod slams down—then it’s game on. You’ll fish with top-quality gear, all provided, and Michael will clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip. Land a monster? He’ll take perfect measurements for a replica mount or connect you with a local taxidermist for the real deal.

Michael runs small groups year-round, often on low-traffic weekdays when the biggest fish come out to play. He doesn’t chase schools of little ones—no filler fish here. If you limit out early, he’ll keep you on the water targeting solid “mediums” or throwing topwater if the fish start busting.

If you’re serious about landing a Texoma trophy, this is the trip...
