I hope every striped bass angler out there sees it and feels the same awful kick in the gut at the prospect.

John has a 37 Contender. John’s 37 Contender has twin 250-hp Yamahas on the transom. A 37 Contender with 500-hp of propulsion in the hands of someone capable is a serious and righteous machine. Sure it costs some coin to take that ride, but what else are you going to spend it on for kicks? Drugs? Invest in an alpaca farm?

Before the fish is even at hand, thinking about the next one. Getting that one off and getting out there again before it all dies down. The fish at hand might feel debased by it all, if it even had a cerebral cortex, but as such it’s probably OK just being not dead. Sorry about that. As Snoop says it, “You gotta get yours but fool I gotta get mine.” To steal some lines from another song, Too much of everything is just enough.

After September 11, 2001, longtime friends of my in-laws sent around an email detailing a new emergency response plan. Should all forms of modern communication cut out once again, we were to follow one simple directive: Head to McSorley’s. Located at 15 East 7th Street in the once dangerous but now hipster Lower East Side, McSorley’s serves beer. You must buy two–either light or dark–and you must keep drinking to keep your seat. When I first moved to the area we went once a month on Saturday afternoon, crammed around tiny wooden tables and ordered rounds. And plates of cheese and crackers, with slices of onion and extra sharp mustard. There was nothing hip, cool, insider, or happening about it but to me it…

Striped bass are already spawning in parts of the Chesapeake Bay. This according to my good friend John Page Williams of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, who also added that the hickory shad have started running. In certain areas of the northeast, the striped bass never left, finding palatable water temperatures in this non-winter. The Weather Channel reported 1,500 record highs across the country last week. I am wearing shorts. Will this be the new normal? Maybe my late April trip to the Susquehanna will not be my first dance with striped fish this year after all.

Thanksgiving 2002. I don’t know why I felt compelled to do it, maybe an insecure need to prove I actually did catch that bass on a fly rod. Although in reality it proves nothing; it could have been a stage prop for all you know. (It wasn’t, piss off.) A recent post by Bows and Browns reminded me of my personal evolution in fish-related point and shoot. I have a large catalogue of hero shots that will likely sit unviewed for generations until my offspring’s progeny discover them in a hidden box and discard them after the estate sale. For a while I wanted to document everything. I bought a sleek and compact Elph and thought that Eastman Kodak really hit on something big…
