Cool vid Vapid! I've always wanted to catch a striper (not stripper) . When I was a kid in the mid 70's, we had family friends who lived at Brinnon and they would rendezvous with us and several other families at Pillar Pt the first 2 weeks of August for dynamite king action.

The Brinnon guys started taking their Whalers down to the Rogue (I think) and they fished tide-water for stripers, and they landed some pigs! My pops and his buddy did a DIY trip and failed miserably, so on their last evening the buddy sprung for a guided trip with Denny Hanna, the self proclaimed "striper king". They ended up snagging a 22# fish, which was kept. Dad wasn't too impressed with the trip, but I remember eating some striper and it was DELICIOUS!!! I know a guy who landed a low-teen striper on salmon gear at B-10 in the early 2000's and it kicked the chit out of him he said.
