The one that got away.... Shore fished over at the point by rock quarry at about 8am until noon. Saw quite a bit of striper chasing fish up against the rocks. Picked up a trout pattern storm kickin stick about a month ago and had yet to get a hit on it and was determined to. Threw right into where I saw some action and within a few seconds... fish on! And he felt big. Had to loosen my drag a few times. Unfortunately with the set up I have, I'm only using 10lb test. Fought him for about 5 minutes and the unthinkable happened, loose line. I might have cried like a school girl but not sure. Lost the fish, lost the lure. Used what I thought was a nice strong palomar knot. Had nightmares last night. Take care
