Cover ground, distance matters. Being environmentally
savvy makes the difference. What ever conditions you’re
up against. That lure has to swim properly. It has to be
in the water doing its dance. What it was designed to do.

One of my favorite fishing reads.
“The Night He caught The Devil”

Al McReynolds pulled this World Record striper from the Atlantic fishing at night off the Vermont Ave. jetty in Atlantic City following days of September Nor'easter storming in 1982. The fish was taken on a 5 1/2-inch long Rebel Black-back silver minnow plug on 20-pound test line. It took one hour and 40 minutes to land the fish on the slippery jetty. The fish measured 53 inches in length with a 34 1/2 inch girth, and was estimated to be 20 - 22 years old. Its 78 pound 8 oz. weight earned it the IGFA all-tackle record!
