"Seven Ways to Spot a Striper Fisherman"

This is a pretty funny article taken from the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of The Drake magazine. As written by Davis Skok.

1. He regularly casts 80 to 100 feet, with no accuracy whatsoever.

2. He doesn't seem to think it's in any way weird to fish in the dark, all night, every night, sometimes for weeks at a time.

3. He thinks a 1/0 hook is small.

4. He assumes that the hot chicks at Lighthouse Beach are checking him out because he's an attractive, rugged outdoorsman, when they're actually wondering why the trippy dude with the fishing pole is wearing a dishpan around his waist.

5. He appears to hate bluefish more than any human has ever hated another living thing.

6. He frequently uses a hundred-thousand-dollar, five-thousand-pound boat to catch a 20-ounce fish.

7. He seems to enjoy fishing in areas with jumbo jet exhaust, Ferris wheels, power plants, the monstrous wakes of high-speed ferries, and what seems like every center-console boat ever produced since the dawn of time.
