It happened last night
 

True Story- happened last night

I was standing on the beach and saw boils everywhere... the largest were just at the end of the cast so I power cast a stubby needlefish out past the boils. As I retrieved the needle, there was a tremendous explosion and the needle sailed into the air... I reeled back with my arms, trying to set the hook, and I yell out at the top of my lungs " CHIIIIIIT, $#@#$@^@ dammit"


Then mrs eben jumps out of bed and says "WTF Eben!?!?!?!? what were you dreaming about????"

Hello, my name is Eben and I am a hopeless striper addict :D

Happened to me the hook set woke up the wife. I will never know if I got it or not.

Eben ,it's ok pal ,I had a dream that it was raining real hard and I was catching monster stripers right out of the street in front of my house! I swear it seemed so real , but when I woke up ......sadly they were gone:(

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:
ive had a few of those too:D

I yell to my son to put the docklines out all the time :D

Go to the Block. we found good fish Friday night and Sat morning.
Had to work for them and we need our trusty guide Block Island Jeff

Still upset I had to stun that fish so you could catch her?

No more than you are about the one I stunned for you to land.

i often set a hook in my sleep.... and wake myself up:)

Paul, the student of stripercology would know that my fish had to come from the north due to the fresh blue flecks in the gills from the Charlestown confetti factory. There is zero chance it could have swam to the other side of the bar, then back as the prevailing west wind would have made this nearly impossible. If you had "stunned" it as you propose, the fish would have most likely continued it's migration south...laughing all the way.

New moon in December is Sunday the 12th. Same tides we just had. SW Point at dusk and dawn. You game? Call me on my office phone

I dont know john, but if it was a HABS i would have caught that $!@#$%!%#$!@%@# BASS and then got some action from the ol lady and after that I would have woken up a happy camper. :humpty:
