Hi everyone,
I went fishing tonight,caught and released several keepers.But a Striper caught me, Off gaurd that is. I had my favorite abu G. rod and reel fishing the bike path with my little women, when she got snagged So I put my rod between my knees to help her and a striper put his mouth on my hook and "

there it was gone

" rod and reel lost to the fishes. Pulled it out of my knees and over the rail in the blink of an eye

.SO I picked up my box and said you ready togo.It was a long quiet ride home. But I'm over it now , and I have a a little story to tell the kids when there older.LIve and learn. don't let your gaurd down when fishing for stripers:
