Soft-Plastic Eels for Big Striped Bass
Giant soft-plastic eels. For many Northeast striped bass anglers, their vision fuels a hair-raising, sweaty-palmed, white-knuckled daydream. In my version of this dream, pinpricks of infinite starlight twinkle overhead and a marshy salt air gently nudges my kayak down-current in the fragile silence of the ocean at midnight, a silence broken only by two sounds.

I was watching a video on a social media platform of a comic whose clips I follow, and in this one, he had the audience eating out of his hand from the moment he stepped on stage and cracked his first joke. There were images from throughout the room of people laughing and applauding. He was very funny.
