KEWL! I seen that with my buddy Marvin on the boat last year at the Onset rip outside Widows Cove. I was tying a knot and he had a schoolie on, I was watching his fish about 10-15' from the boat and all of a sudden there was this dark area behind his fish and it turns into an EASY 50lb fish. We both saw it and both were speechless as it happened. The profile coming straight at the boat was over 12" tall and easily that wide. When it turned I darn near shat myself. We drifted that spot 20 more times with nothing over 15 lbs for the next few hours.
The fish was also extremely wide. When I first saw it I questioned if it even was a striper. Probably would have been tough to hook even if it had succeeded because the schoolie was hooked in roof of its mouth with no hook showing...
