S-J I can not tell you how much that story is amost exactly what has happened to me over the last two seasons. My Dad was a commercial fisherman on a 65ft family-owned dragger for 30+ years and until last season, had never landed a striper on rod/reel. This past season he landed his first keeper, also a rat fish and progressed to catch many large (although admittedly not as large as YOUR Dads fish). I fished with him all year long when in years past I would barely ever see the man. He will be 70 years old this spring. We are already ribbing each other about who is gonna get the bigger striper this season!
Thanks for sharing!
