What was your best bite in 2001?

[Fish_Eye]

What was your best bite last season?

Was it a big cow striper that doubled over your rod and emptied your reel?

Was it a tuna that almost ripped the rod out of your hands?

Maybe it was tog trauma, when a huge white-chinner went dive-dive-dive for his rocky little hidey-hole.

Perhaps it was the pull of a pollack?

Did you freak on a fluke?

Did you have any memorable hits, strikes, bites, smacks or near misses of special note in 2001. It doesn't have to be the biggest fish of your lifetime...maybe the bluefish that pulled your unattended rod off the boat?

For me, the best bite was one I saw fish_eye to fish eye. This maniac mako was frantically chasing down a chunk of bluefish that was being quickly hauled back into the boat. It couldn't resist the old "take away" and it came flying in out of the deep to intercept this offering just 15 feet away -- right in front of me and the camera.
