Big striped bass caught at Lake Powell

Robert McAden of Greenehaven, Ariz., recently caught a 36-pound striped bass at Lake Powell. He used anchovy bait, which isn't how the biggest striped bass are typically caught at Powell, but shows that the big fish can be caught any time and anywhere on the reservoir. McAden's son, Jason, and grandson, Michael Ryan, were with him when he caught the trophy.
