Hello guys, this is my first post here @ Striped-bass.com. Love the board and will will probably be hanging around for a while!
Anyway..... I have a story. Names are left out to protect the innocent.
A buddy of mine was spearfishing a few weeks ago and nailed a 55Lb Striper. He lugged up up the cliffs to his pickup truck, threw the fish in the back of the truck and sped off to the tackleshop to have it weighed, and to have a picture taken with it.. So.... he pulls up to the shop, gets out and runs into the shop to get the boys to come out to see this beast and its GONE!!!!! He has no idea where it went and then realises that he left the tailgate down and it slid out the back somewhere on the way to the shop.... The fish of a lifetime lost to the hiway... This is a horrible waste of a fish, but a great tale non-the-less-
so there you go-
captian unagi-
p.s. love the lure building forum... I'm inspired!
