Word to the wise John. I was out last night and for what ever reason the surf was higher then usual. I fished the top of the tide and even though I was perched high on a RI island formation, at least 12', the surf was reaching my feet and with the occasional bigger ones. Two hours into the drop I felt more comfortable when I noticed in the moon light a big swell making its way toward shore I planted my feet and got ready to brace this swell. In a split second, it hit me waist high, knocked me down hard on my hip and elbows. As high as I high was the level of awareness remains the same. I got lucky. Although I was hurtin I thanked God and called it a very succesful night. We have to repsect her at all times.
