You're thinking of Jacob Freeman, great guy, use to run the "stripercoast Surfcasting club" going back 5-7 years. Super nice guy.
We still talk via FB and text, he's busy with family and kids and life, kind of took a back seat but still fishes a lot
There were a couple other guys that use to do it with him, one guy was Ed, he went off the Deep end and burned a lot of people and made the club look awful.
Pete from NJ was big into it to, he's still on here lurking I think.
Couple guys got "caught" while skishing off the c town breach way, buddy was drifting a darter and hooked into something big, fought for like 20 minutes and then the line popped. About 15 minutes later kid shows up with a darter buried in his boot. Could have been a bad situation

We usually have a handful doing it on the Cutty trips. But they are more often swimming to a submerged rock. I do recall the time two of these highlining wetsuiters were on a rock in the middle of the night, with nice bass tethered to their belts, and one of them hooked up with a +4 foot brown shark..... That did make for a nervous swim back to shore for them... I have never been tempted to try it. I am much happier on my fiberglass jetty!

With the increase in the seal population and the accompanying visits from(larger) sharks, I'm still trying to talk myself into a wetsuit.
Skishing? Ahhhhhhh........no.

A shark is always in the back of your head somewhere when your swiming at night looking like a ditressed seal!! Add some live eels and Perhaps a fish you just bleed out.

Years ago 3 of us had blue sharks all around us at Deep Hole. We were way out on the bar and each of us had a couple of bluefish/bass on stringers. I remember Mikey Bagalini throwing bluefish at the sharks as we backed up.  |
No boat, back in the suds.

That will definitely increase the pucker factor, even if they are only blue dogs. |
