Throwin a needle at night on MV....I'm in up to my chest and I hook into what feels like a greyhound bus. At the same time across the sound, a town fireworks display starts so I'm getting that and the reflection of it in the water! Turns out I snagged a 24" striper sideways (you know how that goes) but man, what a rush....brain felt like it was back in '68!

Coming right at the boat, about 20 - 30ft off the beam, seeing a bluefish dive out of the water, then right behind it a giant tuna coming out of the water behind it with mouth wide open.

It was an awesome sight.

Watching my brother come out of the head on the Cuttyhunk Ferry after the thing exploded all over him!
I didn't catch too many big fish this year, so that was cool for me.
The other was sticking a whole Bud bottle down the gullet of a good fish that Mikey got in Ct right at the beginning of the season.
Boy was he surprised when he cut open the stomach!
Later,
Rick

Taking a bunch of kids fishing at Lake Winnepisaukee (?) this summer
and having them all catch fish. Although it's not about big fish, it is about another generation of potential fishing buddies to carry the torch into our future.
