sooo today was a weird day. for one, there were no stroms and i could fish. two,i caught fish. three, i caught a keeper (barely more like a glorified schooly but i'll take it. (or let it go whatever)).and four i caught a striper with fangs..
any one else ever catch one of these? the color was beautiful. like no other striper i had ever seen. just amazing contrast between the black and white. and it was actually white. not that off yellowish white. amazingly dark back. probably the darkest darks i have ever seen too.
sooo anyway i lip the thing.. and no sooner do i do that, then do i regret it. it gave the typical, clamp shut for a second. and boy did it hurt. the bottom of my thumb was in agony. the top.. well that didn't feel pleasant either. so i call my buddy over. "hey man you gotta feel this things upper lip". he was pretty hesitant not believing me (it was kinda dark) he figured maybe it just had rougher than average lips. so finally i convince him to take a poke. never have i seen his finger come out of a fishes mouth so quick. you would swear he just stuck it in the mouth of a blue. it was only about a 22inch fish. but it had probably a 1/5 inch long ""fangs"" on its upper lip. curved back (like a boas teeth). two rows deep. about 4 across. bottom lip was pretty pointy as well. got a few marks to prove it. i wish we snapped a pic. i've seen some pretty rough lips on stripers. but never anything like this. it had full on teeth.
anyway thats my story... bored to death yet?
lol. tight lines fellas.
