On the Run: An Angler's Journey Down the Striper Coast by David DiBenedetto
Description from
Goodreads:
"Each autumn, one of
nature's most magnificent dramas plays out when striped bass undertake a
journey, from the northeastern United States to the Outer Banks of
North Carolina, in search of food and warmer seas. Writer and angler
David DiBenedetto followed this great migration -- the fall run -- for
three months in the autumn of 2001. On the Run offers
vivid portrayals of the zany and obsessive characters DiBenedetto met on
his travels -- including the country's most daring fisherman, an
underwater videographer who chucked his corporate job in favor of
filming striped bass, and the reclusive angler who claims that catching
the world-record striper in 1982 sent his life into a tailspin. Along
his route, DiBenedetto also delves into the natural history and biology
of this great game fish, and depicts the colorful cultures of the
seaside communities where the striped bass reigns supreme."
