I was fishing the State Pier in Gloucester one night throwing chunks of herring out there. They have these rats, the size of footballs that run up and try and take your bait when your not looking. You just stomp your foot and they run off for a few but come back every couple of minutes.
All of a sudden I see this guy pull up w/ his girl friend and get setup to fish. She gets her chair out and gets all cozy while the boyfriend starts cutting up bait and throwing chunks out there.
After a few minutes of watching me perform the Off-Broadway version of Stomp for about 15 minutes she says "Excuse me but why do you keep doing that?" So me being the type who's always looking to help says "Oh it keeps the Rats away, They like to steal your bait" She nervously says "Rats!!" I say "Yup and there pretty friggin big around here". I then proceed to watch her start talkin back and forth w/ her boyfriend, Five minutes later they're packed up and Gone.....Go Figure.
