Striper

On May 20th 2003, I drove up to Cape Cod with my cousin Josh to visit a child hood friend who was spending the summer on the cape. We were going to be there for two full days and I had an urge to go fishing on the second day. I woke up early that Thursday and jumped in the car and started to head down Rt. 6 for the nearest bait shop. I stopped by a boat dealer and he directed me down the road to the Black Duck a small fishing shop. I walked into the store and told the man behind the counter that I wanted to rent a fishing rod and try out the fishing from the nearest beach. He told me to give LeCounts National Sea Shore a try at noon because of the tides. I went back to my friends house had breakfast and waited for my cousin to get up. We went back to the Black duck rented two rods, a piece of frozen mackerel and headed to the beach.
It was a beautifully sunny day and as we arrived and gather the rods the hooks and the piece of mackerel. I knew we were not prepared for what was going to happened that day. I asked a couple of fisherman who were heading home if they had any luck and they said earlier they had a bite but nothing since.
Josh and I headed directly to a spot close to where we parked. I cut up the mackerel tied on the hooks attached a 3 weight sink and we both casted out our rods. We set the rods in a rod holder and no more than 10 minutes later I got a strike. I lifted up my rod, set the hook and the fish took off, taking out hundreds of feet of line. I battled the fish for over 20 minutes and soon I landed the biggest fish of my life a 30 Ib striper.

Great Days Catch
