Daugher's first birthday this weekend, so the festivities left very little time to fish. The family was hanging out on the beach yesterday in Rkpt so I did some snorkeling in a very rocky area off the beach that always has awesome visibility.
Came up on some lobster pots in about 10 feet of water and out of the shadows comes a wolfpack of striped bass, biggest looked about 20 pounds (but not sure how accurate that is looking under water)

It was a surreal experience to be swimming with the fish that I spend so much time targeting! I felt like Mike Laptew! They didn't seem to mind at all that I was there and were just milling around. They were suspended mid water column then drop down to investigate the rocks occasionally.... I stayed with them for a good 10 minutes until they move on.. It was so damn cool, just thought I'd share.
