An interesting story. One of the biggest fish I ever had on, and lost, was on a night and a tide you would least expect.
July 1, about 90 degrees and humid as it gets. Full moon and the very bottom of the tide on a reef in Narragansett. Black, home made jointed wooden metal lip swimmer. Fought this fish for what seemed like 10 minutes, then.....nothing. Plug came back with 2 out of 3 hooks on a 3/0 4X VMC treble straightened and the lip bent flat.
Wrong plug, wrong tide, wrong place and a full moon. You just never know.
