It happened last night
True Story- happened last night
I was standing on the beach and saw boils everywhere... the largest were just at the end of the cast so I power cast a stubby needlefish out past the boils. As I retrieved the needle, there was a tremendous explosion and the needle sailed into the air... I reeled back with my arms, trying to set the hook, and I yell out at the top of my lungs " CHIIIIIIT, $#@#$@^@ dammit"
Then mrs eben jumps out of bed and says "WTF Eben!?!?!?!? what were you dreaming about????"
Hello, my name is Eben and I am a hopeless striper addict  |

Paul, the student of stripercology would know that my fish had to come from the north due to the fresh blue flecks in the gills from the Charlestown confetti factory. There is zero chance it could have swam to the other side of the bar, then back as the prevailing west wind would have made this nearly impossible. If you had "stunned" it as you propose, the fish would have most likely continued it's migration south...laughing all the way.
