I watched the whole amazing event..with one interuption before the moon went dark, something hit my eel and took off.
The moon was still shining as bright as ive ever seen,so even at 150 yds away, I clearly saw the fish jump out of the water and splash down, and I could see it was large.
I was glad that I just had line put on my reel because this fish was taking a few long runs. When I eventualy got it ashore I could see that it was a striped bass as large as Ive ever caught. In the past, I've had a few fish i couldn't revive after being weighed and i wanted to release it unharmed, so it went back and I watched it swim away..
