Weighed in another 50 pounder from Watch Hill Rip. The fish was taken on an eel at slack tide 3:00AM Wednesday morning by Paul Richards. Paul has been at the game for over 40 years and finally got his fifty. The fish weighed 51.65lbs.

Either he's really short or that fish has got some length to it.

Nice Fish!! :)

Great fish, fished that area for the first time early last week with a friend who has a summer place down there. Incredible to see near low tide what that rip is like. Unfortunately biggest fish was 32" not close to fifty lbs.....

Oh man, what a big girl - Rubinesque, ya might say...:heybaby:

Hey, at fifty lbs. she still looks shapely to me :laughs:

Now we need Nils to bag one just like that in his kayak!

Beautiful fish congrats to the angler!

Congratulation Paul, good looking fish.

I hope not.....

The tickets I bought for my 50lb sleigh ride are for Hawai...:D

I'm wishing and dreaming... like everyone else. I still have to put more hours on the water for that to happen. It's like winning the lottery.
