My First Keeper

[Notaro]

Hey guys,
I caught a few smaller striped bass in Back River, Weymouth, but never a keeper. I caught my first keeper at Rockport, MA. I'm not going to tell you guys my favorite spot. So you guys have to try to force me to tell all of youses. Here we go;

It was on 7/29/02. The weather was as hot as hell. I carried a senior citizen red grocery cart rigged with strings and rod holders and some tools in it. I walked around the Gloucester trying to find the Granite Pier. I stopped by Winchester's Tackle Store. They helped me out. The CATA was kind enough to drop me off at the Granite Pier. There wasn't any fish there. I saw a snobby and yuppy redneck catching flounders and took the whole space. He gave me some attitudes because I casted my line next to him. Then I left the place and walked 30 minutes to the Bearskin Neck. It was a beautiful town. A man refered me to Roy's Lobster Shack for more baits. He catches live herrings and keeps fresh herrings. So I fished behind his restaurant. Many boats were parked. I waited three hours for a sight of striped bass. I caught a glimpse of it. There were many stripers are above 28 inches! I used no weight, but a O' Shauganessy hook 4/0. I finally caught it. It was hooked under the mouth. The sea constable helped me out by netting it up to the top. He also gutted it for me.
Then I brought it to home. I arrived at the North Station and my dad yelled at me for being late as usual. Then I took the picture of it. It weight 10 lbs and measured 28 inches.
