You mean old 'Doc' Pietreszek...

Corey took my brother in law and me out the end of last June and we had pods of bass chasing topwaters - fish in the 30 to 40# range - bringing them off the bottom in gin-clear water taking whacks at the plugs - it was unbelievable - we have a few stills I took but no videos of the day.

I'll tell ya, I've seen broncos buck, gators f***, been to a cockfight and two World's Fairs and I ain't never seen anything like that.

Capt. Corey knows his stuff...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
