I heard a rumor that a 57lb bass was taken off of Watch Hill Reef on very light line over the weekend ??????

Hmmmm? I know of a few 30#'s that were caught:)

There was a 57.95 taken sunday morning somewhere near watch hill.Fish was taken by a couple who currently hold i beleve its 24 records in IGFA.I witness the fish being weight in it was only 491/2 inches long but she look like she swallowed a baskett ball was 32 inches in girth it was taken on 8 lb test and is being submmited for that test in IGFA

any chance on knowing what they where using for bait?

Sounds like the Golinski's from South hadley.
My brother uses basketballs for bait.

RB - I hope you were on your way out fishing, with a bag fulll of basketballs

Nope,
Can't sleep...Got the ex-wife coming over today for hopefully the last visit FOREVER!
Also have the President, Corporate Chef, and all of the Northeast RM's coming to my restaurant tomorrow for the Q4 new menu rollout presentation. Thinking about going in early to clean.
Later,
Rick

Thread HIJACK in progress -
Restaurant?? ? Please do tell.. :drool:

If this is true 8lb test, it didnt take long for Alberto's spring pending IGFA record to be broken. Two good fish on some light line.

I also heard the 8lb line statement I was simply amazed. I have had trout break 8lb line :D

seriously 8 lb line ;o was it a 1 lb spool attached to the rod instead of the reel?? i mean jeeze wouldnt a pebble rub u off ;P

no big deal mike . rick is a janitor at a local food chain . can you say McDonalds . so he has to clean for ronalds yearly inspection .

I fish a men's Spalding. Slow retrieve, at night.

In May and early June a women's globe trotter ball is killer for schoolies.

Not to Hijack or anything, but that Ronald is one mean clown.

the fish was taken during the beginning of the Swamp Yankee Tournament....i heard the they were using live porgy's with the dorsal fin cut...was going to enter the tourny which lasts for a while....but no sense now...:(
