Congrats, what a nice fish!

YIKES!!!!:)

Great Catch Strider......Did you by any chance note the stomach contents and was she full of Roe or were her roe sacks empty??? Just curious. We always checked out those big fish and sometimes they would be full of bright green roe and other times red roe. Some were carrying empty roe sacks but others as noted were full. We always were puzzeled as to why a big spawner would be up here in new england carrying ripe roe. The experts say they do not spawn up here. Puzzling!!!!

Again, Congratulations to a fine Fisherman, on catching a Fine Fish!!!!!

Beautiful Rich! Well deserved for one of the hardest working and nicest surf men around.

Holy crap!!

i guess that answers the "early" question for may :uhuh:

She is off to the taxidermist this evening, no details on the contents yet. It did fel like there was something in its stomach, although it was most likely just the ten-pound bass I landed a bit earlier in the tide.

Congratulations !!! :btu:

that is a great accomplishment

Congrats Strider. Gorgeous fish!

Great fish, Rich. You will have many,
many years of pure pleasure savoring
that beauty on your wall. You will taste
every minute of that catch over and
over again. Every muscle and nerve
will recall the struggle. Your grandchildren
will talk of their great fisherman, Granpa Rich.
We are blessed who seek beauty in this way.

What a beast!!! Congrats!
