Noah Syndergaard and some of his fellow Mets pitchers went on an epic fishing trip

For most players, Spring Training is a time to slowly ease into the high-intensity mindset of a grueling 162-game regular season. Some, however, seem to want to ratchet up the stress level during the preseason schedule. Mets pitchers Noah Syndergaard, Seth Lugo, Tyler Bashlor and Jacob Rhame recently decided to spend some time away from camp out on the Atlantic doing some fishing. But this was not exactly a relaxing trip out on the water -- these pitchers were going after some absolute monsters of the sea:
