Geez, John. Glad you are still in one piece. Your hooks must be super sharp.... I'm shocked they pierced an old leatherneck like you! You better bring those nurses with you to Cuttyhunk!

Man, you were lucky 
Well, like they say - a good scare will teach you a helluva lot more than good advice.
Certainly a word to the wise for the rest of us |
"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.
