Might have been a large sting ray, but it's hard to say.

I've never heard of any stripers being caught in that body of water, but stranger things have happened. There really is no telling what hit your line. There are too many fish to name that are in the local waters and that are capable of spooling a light to medium sized reel; especially in saltwater.

I don't know how many times i've lost a fish for what ever reason, in fresh and saltwater, and thought to myself, "I wonder what the hell that was!" After huffing and puffing for about 10 or 15 minutes, I come back to my senses and try to catch another just like it, minus what ever mistake I made that lost the last one. [cool]
