    See now, I tried to use my finger to point it out better

    so weird when something like that pops on the surface, large White years ago while I was checking my bait… had this feeling in my gut, it was magnificent but terrifying at same time

    long trips at night your mind plays tricks on you, lack of sleep… you start seeing shit

    Yes!
    Triggered
    Another story. 
    Cape cod hanging on beach. A couple nailing stripers and blues silly. Me and bud go to his house to get rods. 
    Come back. Reels all f..ked up. (My excuse for not hooking up) 
    See a seal a solid 50' off the surf. Could have thrown a rock to it. Close enough. We were chatting about seeing orcas in Alaska from the beach staring into the surf.
    Up cuts a massive dorsal fin following the elusive seal 
    Jaw dropped. 
    Bud lives there (seasonally) and never saw one. Great White had to be 14' long.
    This was over 10 years ago.
    Swimmers were going way off the beach after we saw it. Tried to warn whomever we could. 
    Really cool to see.

    Good to see this thread! I am not a big saltwater fisherman and prefer flies to bait or spin gear, but I have some great smallmouth water near me and they crush the crankbaits when I can find the fish. My 2 kids have put a damper on my fishing in the last ten years and I rarely take photos, but I still get out 5-6 times a season. Mostly fly fishing for trout in small tailwater streams fed by reservoirs. Slow fishing but I need to just get out there. Keep them coming and tight lines!

    Forgot white, blue shark , fluke, sea bass

    underwater lights and sunset are one of the coolest feelings, we played binaural that night
    Nice doormat of a fluke!  Sea Bass yum. You guys got your tuna license for the boat or individuals? That White looks young, 8ft or so?  The one fish I can't place was maybe a sword?

    My buddy does the Tuna now off the sound in 70' of water.  Crazy that they are this close to us now.

    Good stuff.  Wheres the striper and blues pics, lol!

    Some shorts?  This must be an old pic when you could grab smaller Stripers.  They've changed the laws so much over the years.

    You ever do the Threshers?  We have a bunch on the south Shore.

    Good stuff my man.  Post more pics!!!!

    So over the years some oddball fish I have caught were a Spanish Mackerel and Spiny Skate.  Did not expect to pull those up...

    Blue sharks at night…. That’s when the fun begins, you don’t know wtf is gonna surface. We catch squid on the surface sometimes in the light… giant sea turtles come say hi

    screen shot of my whale video, big boy putting on a show

    damn Sharks usual ruin a good card game… blues are so dumb, same ones keep messing with bait

    Bump for a man with a dry line looking for some tall tales/inspiration.
    Funny I read somewhere about the evolution of an angler. 
    As I remember it.

    catch anything
    Go for big
    Go for wild
    Then just happy to know they're there and leave them alone

    Pretty sure I'm visiting the last stage.  Plus when I go I've been getting skunked.

    Hey ho let's go
