Hope this pic comes out.

Nice BIG FATTIES!

great pic, those are slobs

Back in the day!!.......:kewl::kewl::kewl:

It use to be like that...now you catch a 40" fish and if it is 20# your downright giddy!

But there is no problem with the striper population...no, everything is great we are well above any thresholds to take action. Oh, don't worry about the weight or health of the fish...and those red sore spots...don't worry about them either, all is well, all is well. Maybe we should increase the quota?
Fishery managers need to get their head out of their ass.

Great fishies, I have some pictures of my grandfather from down in Hatteras NC with a handfull of big slobs and a pickup truck load of bluefish in the bed.

Not just out of their asses, they need to get out on the water and see what is really going on not just sit behind a desk and look at paperwork!!!!!!!

Awesome. where u dig that photo up from?

Those are some slobs of fish!

What were the weights on those??
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

it use to be the rule . back then we actually had baitfish around.
kind of hard to believe it wasn't that long ago.

I'm not sure on the weights of the fish; I do know that they were taken in the mid 1950's from the surf at Point Allerton in Hull MA. That's my dad holding the fish and me and my sister posing with the old man. My dad was as hardcore as it gets...started fishing from the surf in the early 50's....and kept on fishing hard right through his last season in 2010. He passed away @ 88 on 1/13...luckily he sent over 60 yrs. worth of bass on ahead of him to keep him busy......wherever he is.:devil2:

Notice my sister's finger under my nose....nothing like the smell of dead fish!

John,
I'm really saddened reading this post and that your dad had passed.
I'm sure he is slaying the fish where ever he is now.
RIP Art

Thanks Ron. It won't be quite the same on the "Sokinwet" next season without the old man holding up his end of the boat. I can tell you for sure that the time you're spending fishing with your boys today will be greatly appreciated by them and will bring a smile to their faces in some reflective moment down the road.

John,

Sorry that your dad passed on. I'm sure where ever he is, he is trolling his silver bullet dead pogies.

Thanks Jon....shhhh! ;-)
