About four years ago in mid June during a stormy night I caught a 46" 35+lb striper on an eel on the Connecticut shoreline. The fish had a 6/0 bait hook in the roof of the mouth with 2' of at least 80lb test frayed leader coming out through a hole in the side of the jaw. Not what I would consider a fish of a lifetime but I'm sure someone was miserable losing that fish. I removed the old hook, the eel hook and sent her on her way...................Only fish I caught that night.
