Mr. Padua,

The possibility for an even bigger fish is what keeps you going back. While there may not be as many big stripers as there use to be, there's always the possibility that a 50-60 pounder is roaming around out there, king of the snapped lines and bent hooks, just waiting for the right person to teach it a lesson. I have one question:

Is that person YOU? When do you say you'll be going back up there.......
