Not so strange, but funny. My brother Mike was fishing the beach in Eastham by my praents cottage. He was ten at the time. Baited the hook and through out the line. Like a lot of ten years olds he wandered off to look at other things. He came back and rod and reel were gone. He saw a line in the water like something had pulled the rod and reel into the water. Dad was really bull...t when he came home. It was late and tide was high, so Dad to him to get his butt down to the beach after church and walk out onto the flats until he found the rod. Next day after church Mikey went and found the line in the sand at low tide and followed it until he came upon his rod and reel. The reel had been stripped of its line. Just a ten year old boys idea of a good know kept the line attached to the reel. Mikey started reeling the line in. Yes at the end of the line was his first striper. That brought a smile to our faces and still does.
