Always had the story, the names, and history behind all things striper... I could never figure out why so many good striper fishermen were from the Worcester area, until Steve posted much of the who's and whys. Only had a few brief conversations with him at Plugfests. My loss for not getting to know him better. Despite his physical stature, wealth of knowledge, and his considerable fishing accomplishments, he was quite unassuming. In an age of self proclaimed internet sharpies, Steve defined the other end of the spectrum. That would be called Class.... My thoughts to his family and friends, especially Dave, Captain Cupcake.
Z. I think a series on guys like Steve would be well received.

3 YEARS AGO: END OF THE SEASON
November 15th night, three years ago, Steve Flaptail, George Numbskull, and I ended our season together with one more try, on a good tide and conditions, and a cold starry night. Between the three of us, we never had a hit, and we knew we were done in our waters for the season. Although it was unsaid amongst us, we all couldn't have been more content with the process together.
Last night, Nov. 15th, Numby and I completed the cycle again, almost identically, with the very conscious absence of friend Steve. Steve loved it all...the beginning, the end, and everything in between.

Hey Bob that was a fantastic day, perfect describes it to a tee. I still remember it vividly and the company was perfect too. I would luv a copy of that pic. That would be very nice of you, and will bring me a smile seeing the big guy on that day.
Thanks.
