After reading about the big stripers being caught on Old Hickory, Piercy Priest and Cordell Hull, all impoundments of the Cumberland River, I planned a trip to the area. I had also read about a man who was supposedly the best stiper guide in the area. His name is Ralph Dallas and when I contacted him in 1996 his phone # was (615) 824-5792.
Dallas holds the Tennessee state record for stripers at about 63# the last I knew. When I fished with him one day we landed three stripers over 30# and lost two more, one of which probably was substantially over 30#.
I tried my hand at striper fishing the next year at the same time of year and managed to land two stripers about 30# using tactics learned from Dallas.
Good luck.
