It was definitely a striper. I didn't believe him when he said it had teeth but I put my fingers in its mouth and it had teeth. Don't know about fangs but it had teeth.

"That large bass rise in the dim light of the false dawn, and take my steel-lipped swimmer. It will thrash, pull like mad and throw water all over the place before it dives for refuge.
This is why I am a surfcaster." - D.J. Muller

well that's because you didn't poke around in there for very long.. bottom lip was toothy, the upper lip more so. cept they were shaped like fangs. as i said curved backwards. long and thin. fangs is the only way i can describe them compared to the rest of the teeth in those chompers.

and adam, i wish we got pics too. hell i wish we could have held on to it. but a schooly is a schooly.. and he got the schooly treatment. right after i tossed him back we started kickin ourselves for not getting pics.

I've never heard of fanged stripers either. Were they like blue fish teeth?

not really.. it was more like modified striper "teeth". take the sand paper "teeth" and raise all of the them up to at least triple there normal height. and then make them incredibly sharp and pointy. then right in the middle of the upper lip. imagine four row across and two rows deep. of the same type of tooth but much larger and curved back. (like in a weakfish)

oh and as for the weakfish theory.. that almost dead on what the mouth felt like. (had to look up some pics) cept instead of only one row of fangs it was two rows deep and four across. how ever the rest of this fish was dead on striper. there was no mistaken it. in fact..it was probably the most striped striper i have even seen. other than the teeth it was like the poster child of striper. definitely a bass. i will put everything in my life on that fact. i just wish we had pics.
