Hey, happy Monday, everyone. Welcome to another installment of cut and retie shortcuts,

brought to you by Quantum, sitting here with Dave Petrie, formerly of Twisted Lores,

master lore maker.

I hope you caught us on Friday because we did a pretty good job of just picking apart the

entire striper surf slash plug-making scene, wouldn't you say?

Yeah, it just made me realize how insane.

Well, and that's just it. We talked a lot about

how insane that scene is. So check that one out if you didn't catch us on Friday. But Dave and I got

to talking after the fact. And I was like, man, we just got going on crazy surf fishing stories.

And I love a good injury story. And Dave gave me just the gist. I haven't heard

the whole thing yet, but just the gist of a couple incidents you've seen in many, many years

out on the surf. Because it can be, it can be dangerous, right? I think people don't realize,

like they think of, you think of the rock hopping aspect,

like people know, like, these guys swim out to the rocks and, like, yes, that's dangerous.

But you could be on, on soft sand, right, in a very calm environment,

and surf fishing can get gnarly.

So, uh, let's, let's draw some blood, man.

Dave is such a, you're such a good storyteller.

Hit me with one.

In the early 2000s, there were fish up in jetty country in New Jersey.

Yep.

And I was up there on a jetty.
