Came across a thread in which it was reported that 74 stripers over 50 lbs. were registered for citations in Virginia in 2006.

Is Virginia catch and kill or catch and release?

that's quite a few 50's. who keeps the records?

No such thing as Catch and release down there.....I just got back from fishing there the last 6 days. The fish are pretty easy pickens there, they are all schooled up blitzing everything down the coast. We were dropping jigs down there and pulling 60-100 bass a day between 20-30lbs. You couldnt imagine all the boats on the weekends with everyone easily boxing limits. The only advantage for the bass is that it is winter, and it can get ugly there this time of year restricting alot of boats.

There were quite a few dead fifties there the last few days during the midatlantic rockfish tournament....

they need more education.... :rollem:

Cowhunter what is the bag limit for VA?

That is a heckuvalota 50's. Are they massing up to go offshore for the winter? Or just camping out in VA?

theres gonna be no more big bass for us..... :[:crying: :crying: :crying:

More 50's and 60's are caught down there than ANYWHERE Else...

Hi Ken - get your's yet?

Hope family is well.

Would not suprise me one bit if thats where the next World Record comes from

I wonder how many were taken from shore.

Hey DZ, dont get as much time to fish for myself anymore as I spend more time chartering, I had two fifties on the boat this year, 50.6lbs and 52lbs. I had one last year on the boga was right around 51, wieghed in a while later on the digital 49.75. ....Family is great, hope everything is good on your end....

hey ken,
good to see you and the family are doing fine and congrats on those two slobs this year
