As I said before...
Whether Boat or Beach... It's so satisfying to reel in one of these girls!...
My surf trophy will come sooner or later, but for now...
I'm loving the Fall Run!
If you were to ask me, I'd say that there are levels of skill & luck to each of the genres of fishing.
I've seen people take large from the Surf where there was absolutely no skill involved... just dumb luck... and on the other hand there are those like Iron Mike who do their homework & it pays off in spades!!!
There are also trollers out there who throw a line over the boat blindly like those who "shoot an arrow into the air... and where it lands, they know not where...."
Not every troller out there is walking around with 30+ lb Bass!!!
I personally can tell you that Greg is someone who by experience, knows where the big girls are, and he has put in his time & effort and it has paid off exponentially for him.
As far as I'm concerned, there is an element of luck involved no matter where or how one fishes since the bass do play a role in in the sport...
They've gotta be hungry!... And you have to be in the same spot!
Catching a 30+ Striper was an experience that nobody can ever take away from me, whether it "counts" to them or not...
I attribute this catch to the experience of a fine fisherman and a great friend!...
Greg is a prince of a guy, and one helluva fisherman!
If there are some of you out there that can't be happy for me because I was able to take a 30+ lb striper whether you think it "counts" or not not...
I say piss on ya!....
I enjoyed it anyway!...
And again, I say thanks to Greg!...
There are few men out there who are like you!...
