No, but I did read Bassdozer's article about the "Ghost Fish" of the Block. It was first posted on WMI back in our storied youth, and then on SOL, and it's still up on the Dozer's web site.
His theory is that the "ghost fish" are a pelagic sub-species of bass, that live primarily offshore, and that their body shapes are adapted to life offshore, where they spend most of their lives. But, he also theorized that these fish do come inshore chasing bait from time to time, and that these were the huge fish that were caught around the Block back in the 80s. Tim Coleman got two fish over 60 from the BI surf back then.
This could be one of his "ghost fish" that made one of those rare inshore visits.
