Stacy, I want to see a video of your fight with a 14 lb Hybrid Striper on a fly rod - what a blast - they will take you into the backing in a heartbeat!
What size fly rod?
My favorite for HSB is a Temple Fork Outfitters 8-10 wt MiniMag.
Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck and I can only dream of a 14 pounder.
