Compassion for the Little Guy

Menhaden (also called Pogie or Bunker) were in large tight bait-balls off the Nauset Beach shore this past Sunday. As the tide went out, the Striped Bass ambushed the fish along the sandbars, forcing many of them to choose death by stranding or death by being eaten!
People on the beach rushed to throw them back into the sea as they leaped out of the waves by the hundreds. (Most didn't even realize they were throwing the fish back into the mouths of waiting hungry stripers!)
