Tin & Phester on the "V"

[TheTinMan]

Phester made his way "out east" for a litle mid-day Striper fishing...gotta love da fall run!

It was actually kinda slow....second drift I did manage a 34"er on an eel. Nothing for maybe an hour and half after that, was lookin grim for Phes......then outta da blue.....ZIIIIING, fish on for phester! Figured I would get my rig in and give him a hand with the net...as soon as I start to reel in, nice hit....but lose him...BAH

He lands the fish, a nice 38" 20 lb.'er! Looks smaller in pic, I think.

We did witness a 40 pounder a boat netted....hey! that was supposed to be my fish!

What an absolute gorgeous day on the water......very light winds and around 50*.
