I would not smoke a large striper but one around 24" is great for smoking. I just scale and clean the fish leaving the head on for looks. Then put it on a low temp grill with some wood chips and cook it for several hours. Peel back the skin and serve it as an appetizer with crackers. I don't think I would smoke one for a meal. The big rocks show up here in the fall/winter and we can catch them 40" and bigger from december-Febuary so any time now the big ones will arrive.
