Was in the middle of a massive blitz at Montauk 10 years ago, just amazing. Big fat stripers smashing the surface. The water was so clear, you could see huge schools of sand eels 10 feet down, and all of a sudden the school would scatter, and a huge bass would come through with its mouth wide open.

My hands were shaking so bad, I pulled the line through my lure eye twice, trying to tie a knot. Then a finally put my lure on, and on my first 2 casts, I brought in 3 pound bluefish, while everyone else was catching 25 pound bass. I finally got with the program. It lasted 90 minutes.

Sure tell sign you're witnessing something special.

Special feeling.

My buddy Zeke lit the wrong end of his cigarette during the Snowstorm Blitz.
