Well apparently some peeps actually read this rambling. The capt.'s family has digested the sweet meat from the monster caught in Sandy Hook however, the capt. himself still has the taste of the fight. He was reminded of the flavor upon landing this fiesty stripe. Not the size of his big cousin but the fight is certainly relative when using lighter tackle. There's Mr. Kev proudly displaying his catch. The catch also made it feel like 20 degrees warmer. Amazing even a snag on the bottom disguised as a bite sends warmth waves to the toes during these winter charters. Locals claim the bite is on, so far the claim holds true.
