“I had come with one question for Cole. “What is it about the striped bass?” I asked. “The thing about the striped bass is that they’re beautiful. They’re also the wildest, biggest fish that’s inshore. And they’re very loyal. You can walk out to a salt marsh anywhere along the coast and catch one. They show up every year in the same spot, unlike the bluefish, which is evasive and mercurial. You develop an affection for a wild creature that comes to you, that puts itself in your environment. Stripers allow us to connect with the natural world. And they taste pretty damn good.”

“Some people impress one instantly. Others are only appreciated with time and prolonged exposure. Like a vintage cheese”
