Oh my!What a fish!
Perhaps this should be the begining of another thread but I will pose the question here.
If you caught that fish in the surf and didn't have a massive heart attack when you turned on your light,and was able to land it.Would you keep it or release it?

Indeed it was Scott. 77 was pretty much at the beginning of the dramatic down turn in the population. From then until 90 or 91 we sucked wind trying to find fish in the surf. the boat guys still had some but the stocks were really depleted.

woooooooooooooooow.

heres a good question.. how many time do you think that thing had been caught before? it's amazing to think all those schoolies we toss back have a chance at becoming that.

That thing is a monster...I wonder if that fish was traveling in the company of smaller fish or if it was in a school of similarly sized behemoths. Wow. That is some fish!

Thats a fish...Thats my holy grail right there.
If I could land that from the M surf I would hang my gear up..
No BS..

Someone said it was in the top ten.I did not think that was right..

I would send her back if I could revive it. What the heck would I do with a fish that size :usd: ? Even if I didn't have a camera :behead:

Would have been cool if it was. I'd hump that fish after landing it then have it mounted so I could just sit there and stare at it.

Big fish either swim with the same or similar size or alone. They don't swim with schoolies because they are not as fast and would starve competing for a meal.

I was told that Mike Laptew once said he was free diving off the West Wall and had a school of Bass all over 100 pounds in front of him and then they swam away together.

Doesn't sound right to me either--I know of 5-6 fish 70+ from Mass. alone :confused:

Church, Cinto and Stetzko at 73.

Kirker at 72

Two from the old Chatham inlet at 70.

Steve Petri had a 69 from Nauset that's the 16# line class record.

Tim Coleman has a couple of high 60s from the Block.

Steve Campo might also have a high 60 from the Block.

The one from CT at 75.

Bob Rochetta's 76.

McReynold's 78-1/2.

Some high 60s from Va/NC in recent years.

Who knows how many ever got caught and not reported.
