A fish story,.....but I believed it.

[Mark B.]

An angler called today. Said he was @ Brice Park on the Manasquan River, yesterday, & seeing the outline of a 3' long fish slash through the water, tossed his rubber fish jig on 8 lb. test line to it. The fish slammed it & took off. In a period of time, he hooked a total of 6 (!) similar fish, but only managed to get one of them close to shore, before it, too, got off. He said that it was very silvery, and felt that by what he had glimpsed of it & the way if fought, that it wasn't a striper (been fishing for a while & has caught those).

He didn't seem like a bullshitter to me.
