THE STRIPED BASS: A DETECTIVE STORY
Gerald Holland
September 03, 1956
After a 2,000-mile quest the investigator finally comes to grips with the truth—and a striper
Arthur Brawley,
the investigator's associate, choked a little on his double Scotch and
said:
"Would it
interest you to know that while you were down below being indisposed I caught a
28-pound striper?"
"Is that
so?" said the investigator absently. "Well, that is a nice size
fish." He whirled the ice cubes in his glass and leaned forward.
"Boys,"
he said earnestly, "I'll tell you what I'm going to do now. I'm going out
and get me one of those really big babies. Maybe a 60-pounder. And I'm going to
get this one the hard way—surf casting—if it takes me the rest of my
life!"
"He who knows
and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him."
