E-bone, fishing, and football

So super jiggy e reported that E-bonious Rex went to the outer banks and supposedly landed a striper from the shore in the 40-50LB range. Being a striper fisherman and knowing a little about their migration habits and their habits in general, I was a little skeptical. However, I wasn’t THAT familiar with striper fishing in the outer banks. So I called a friend of mine, Jeff Branson, who runs a charter out of the Oregon inlet and told him the story. His answer? It’s plausible.

He said while unusual, it IS possible because there are deep pockets (15-20 feet deep) all along the outer banks. A striper could have found his/her way into one of those pockets by any number of ways, such as being chased by a much larger fish. Knowing that stripers that large are normally caught in the DEEP water 3 miles past the Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel, I’m still skeptical of the story. I want to see pictures!

Now, here’s the news of the week: E-BONE MADE THE PLAYOFFS!!! That’s right sports fans, E-bone made the final slot in a field of six in our fantasy football league. As expected (in last week’s update), the syrens beat the L-Quad Dudesters in the final week of play, bumping me down to the number three seed. As a result, my first round game is, you guessed it: E-BONES BILLS!!!!

That’s right brothers and sisters, the Bone gets a second shot at the defending champion, Quad the Bod. Stay tuned as it REALLY gets interesting this week.
