Here's my report, surf fished and the bass hit like the tide. It was slow, 7 fish from just over slot to 38lbs. I used weighted circle hooks size 10/0 with eels, dead eels that I vac sealed alive after a hard skunk from a previous outing. When I fish live eels I fish a 5/0-6/0 circle because that's how I learned it.

Yes, I fish. I fish for trout on a flyrod. I do not fish for Stripers except in the Fall and every year i make a one week trip to The Block to surf fish for Bass.
I did not specifically call you a Jamoke. I was referring to people who are criticizing RF9 for catch in Bass and releasing them.

Now if you want to ask why I am not a 100 night a year Striper fisherman anymore I will tell you. It's quite simple: I have killed, injured, hooked and lost enough Bass to last a lifetime. I just choose to let them be except once a year on The Block and that's more about being there in November with a couple of close friends and enjoying the solitude.

No boat, back in the suds.

That's pretty much why I walked away from fishing bass 11 years ago. Nothing left to prove, and tricking, and then scaring the living crap out of dumb things with brain the size of a walnut just wasn't fun anymore. It's a noble fish, and they deserved my respect after all of the joy they provided over 50+ years.

Well said Mike.
