Wetsuiting is a form of saltwater fishing that involves wearing a wetsuit and wading or swimming out to offshore rocks-almost exclusively at night, often during storms.
The quarry are striped bass, a fish that migrates every spring, mostly from the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, to as far north as Maine, and back down again in the fall.
Sausele is 27 years old. Shaggy-haired, tattooed, and muscular, he is a devoted practitioner of an extreme sport known as "wetsuiting"... the advice I received from another fisherman was simply: Don't.
By the time the third wave crashes over me, I've abandoned any pretense of swimming back to our original perch... Sputtering and coughing, I manage to find my footing.
