I wrote about Montauk, a fisherman, and a dying extreme sport for the October Issue.
It’s a story of a gentrifying town, a changing ocean, obsession on the knife-edge of madness, and a man who swims through shark-infested water—at night—in pursuit of a great American fish. 🧵
“Wetsuiters” swim out into the surf at night, often during storms, and spend hours in the darkness attempting to catch striped bass. @Tyler_A_Harper reports on this alluring and addicting sport—and why he can’t get enough of it: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
