I ran this announcement by Carl Safina, the marine biologist, author and angler who educated me on the merits of «big old fat female fish» while we were catching and
releasing lunker striped bass in late August.
Shakespeare would claim it was
the lunker rod and the infallible reel.
Eventually, you're going to land
that lunker, so long as you don't pack up and go home before the fish start biting.
