"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
Can some one clue us in as to what third place is at least?????
I'd actually rather not kill a fish for the weigh in (if I can actually find something without teeth) if it isn't gonna matter.
Thanks
