Had a 6' sturgeon jump outta the water less than 5 feet away from me...not gonna lie, I just about shyte myself before I realized what it was - then I felt like an idiot
Scary lol was paddling out during an evening sesh at Belmar last week. It was about 8:20, getting dark fast and was tide seemed way high. I just finished catching a nice peeler left on the log and everyone else had just gotten out. I was getting greedy and wanted one more. Paddled out and saw some silver gray thing splashing about in front of me. Maybe it was my imagination, maybe not, I paddled my tail in some kind of fast though. Always listen to the spidey sense.
Pay attention to that sixth sense, it's real. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=through+the+wormhole+sixth+sense
