Had a brief moment of caveman fear standing in the water with "it". Then I was real curious. If it was striper it had to be a dinosaur. I've never heard any striper like that.

My other guesses are Seal, Ocean Sunfish, huge shark. Whatever the case it was pretty awesome. Fishing was slow, I got skunked, my dad got a schoolie but that alone was worth the price of admission.

What do you think it could have been?
I heard yesterday from someone reliable (who may or may not chime in) that there may have been some recent shark activity in there. Be thankful there is no excessive wading there
