Here's a good fishing story

Huge Bass Takes Teen On Wild Ride
Teen Has Real Fish Story
POSTED: 7:07 AM EDT June 29, 2004
UPDATED: 7:22 AM EDT June 29, 2004



A relaxing day of fishing ended with a wild ride for a 14-year-old Ocean County angler.



Bobby Capri Jr. of Stafford Township, N.J., was in a 10-foot kayak when he hooked a near-record size striped bass in waters off Surf City on Friday.

The 52-pound, 8-ounce fish came within 5 pounds of the world record of 57 pounds for his age group.

The striper dragged the kayak for about 20 minutes, taking the 115-pound Capri past two jetties and pulling him in circles about a dozen times.

He lugged it aboard by putting his hand through its gill plate.

He then tried to paddle ashore, but the kayak's bow kept tipping.

Capri then pushed his hand up through the gill plate again, jumped out and dragged the fish the final 10 to 15 yards ashore.

They started renting those kayaks here this summer. Looks like fun but I don't think I'd have the balance to fish from one. There is a guy here who hauls a step ladder about 100 yards out into the water, sets it up and fishes from it.
