There is a certain former plug ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g, now mackeral loving, member of this esteemed site that broke his pb and sounds like he broke the magic # last week. Sounds like his leaders no longer smelled like smoke, and that was the key. I also believe said member had a fish like this come up behind his boat last year about this time.

Flush him out boys, i'm sure everyone wants to hear the story.

Congrats! let's hear it!

He's just laying low.. avoiding the eventual B.S. that usualy follows a PB .. I congratulated him via PM yesterday.. no one fishes harder or deserves it more..

seldom seen...

i thought if wasnt on wood, it didnt count...?

:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:Spence?:rotf2::rotf2:: rotf2::rotf2:

He doesn't even fish.

Yup. New PB. Midday on boat with live macks. Was lucky to happen upon a school of large..... Had 8 fish over 42". Biggun was 52". Fat. No scale, but after a few days of carrying bundles of roofing shingles, I know it was 50#, and that's good enough for me. Different kind of animal in every way, size of its features, the fight, etc. Sheer power in that tail was something.... Still swimming. Same spot was lifeless the next day....

Gongrats there Ross, That is Awesome......

Same spot was lifeless the next day....

Congrats. Does that mean the Fall Run is officially over?:)

Do ya think it could have been 49#? :devil: nice fish either way

great ..// what were you wearing to catch the large /????:confused:

What are you having tailor made for the happening ;;:soon:

Ross, great 4 u ///Enjoy the memories :fishin:

Congrats Ross!!!!! Good for You!

Congrats Ross!

Nice fish Ross!

You are a credit to the sport, Ross. The release of such a fish is a greater accomplishment than the catch.

Letting a big fish live to breed, rather than killing it to document your catch, is the mark of someone who has reached a high plateau in fishing and in life.

Well done.

Thank you, all.

PaulS, it was around the corner in a cove of the Neck. But was just as close to shore, so could have been caught from shore. You know how close I put the boat to the rocks.....

I have to admit, it has kind of screwed up the motivation to fish...so be careful what you wish for. I feel like the greyhound that has caught the rabbit... I'll snap out of it when I get my next mid twenty inch fish and still appreciate the catch as I always did... Time to go codfishing for the freezer when the offshore weather breaks

That's a great catch and a great ending...released...

Congrats that is great! Very happy for you!

Contrats Ross, well deserved. I'd hang it up for the year on a high note if I were you.

Time to go codfishing for the freezer when the offshore weather breaks

if you need someone to split gas and expenses, let me know.

Nice catch!

i thought everyone got their first 50 stuffed and hung on the wall? :huh:

well, that must be your reward for putting up with years of BS from raising twins.

Congrats!

Awesome. Nice to hear of the release, too.

Great catch Ross, you join the 50 club,
official weight or not. My very personal
thanks for releasing her.

it is either that, or he will be forced back to .................................................f ishing with wood.

Awesome stuff congrats Ross, well deserved indeed. All your good mojo over the years has paid off!

Congrats Ross. Funny your statement about the motivation thing. Billy Nolan AKA #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& quit fishing, sold his boat, waders and most of his gear the winter after the season he caught 3, 50s and a 60. Told me he didn't care anymore.

Now you can fish for fun!

Awesome, Ross... Even if you let it go... :P

Very nice, my friend! Congratulations!

nice hope to release one close to that size one day myself must have been some thrill to watch her swim away

Good form! Extremely well played. Now on to a 60.

Welcome to the club and nice job on the release, feels good to put the big ones back in; put a 55 back myself.

just saw this, Ross!!!
