Let's see if I get 2 - 50's here in Newport? I call my brother to come with his truck and we zoom over to Ct. and get a picture taken by the water over there and send it to the Pro Jo:hihi:

I would keep both
I would make a sweet duel mount. No doubt about it.
I really don't think that keeping one fish that may be the crowning acheivment of my life is going to have any effect on the fishery. Call me selfish, wouldn't be the first time....
:hidin:

Same thing I always do, let them go and hope next year they come back to the same spot and cath them again

hey Damgriz, can we see those pictures?????:drool: :drool:

ok I would definetly be keeping one for sure.the second one I would try and release mostly becuase I would never be able to carry 2 back to the truck.:laugha:

Do fish that large school together? The blitz in the 80's all had large bass with multiple 40 and 50 lb fish together. I know it was a different time but what did most of those guys do.

Myself, I would probably keep the first one and let the second go.

Proably keepum, like your way of thinkin flap except I'm loosing sleep on regular basis

I'd keep both......

I would keep both and mount them in a ying yang position

then again I don't think it is going to happen to me so never mind

i would keep both and mount them right then and there.
a threesome..

You`re young, fanatical, smart, heard a skilled fisher, and making great plugs....why not? Oh....and a nice guy :love:

And stating or writing down the goal helps... I hope you get one Vic!

My biggest was 42" and a fat heavy mini cow but I agree with your sentiments above.... if it happens it happens.

Two hot blondes??????

have heard that sometimes big females travel in small pods up to larger schools together :faga:

My old fishing partner Ron Olson got a 46 & 48 (pound) on consecutive casts in Narragansett one November evening - I'd say in 91 or 92. At a place frequented by several member of this board.
They were on big menhaden but they took an eel.

i allways liked those old days pictures you see,
you know the one where two sports are walking up the beach with tail draggers hanging from a long stick. i allways have wanted to be in a photo like that:devil:

take a pic. then sold to the highest bidder,,,,,,,,

Just to show it is possible, I know a friend who took a 48, and two fish that bottomed out his #50 Chatillion scale from the beach one night about ten years ago. No luck involved, just years of work and a unreal willingness to suffer for his fish. He released them (but has mounted other 50's in the past).

I guess I am with the majority here. I'd keep the first one, release the second. Hopefully #2 would be in decent shape after the battle.

Really, I'd let them both go. I have no clue what I would do with one 50lb fish (much less 2). I would like to have a photo, but seeing how I'm a covert guy :hidin: I would have to take the pleasure of knowing that I accomplished this amazing feat. I would not kill the fish just for a photo and my freezer would not hold the meat.

Would be a real nice problem to have. If during the comm. season I would sell em, if not I would take photo and release. Flap that would be a real expensive mount. Couple grand I would imagine. Paul

Paul, I was singing this song while in Cotuit last night casting to invisible bass, "My Python boots was too tight, I couldn't get it off last night, a week went by, now it's July, I finally got it off and my girlfriend cried, you got Stinkfoot! Stinkfoot Darlin', your foot put a hurt on my nose!

Need to come see you for a little rheem job on me holders!:rotfl:

Here Fido, fetch the slippers. Anytime Steve you know where I am Mon. thru Fri. nites. No fish yet? P.

Keep the first and release the second and hope I wasn't alone when I caught the second so it would be a witnessed 2 - 50 lber night. Also pray I had a camera to photograph the two together and my smile stretching between them.

Comercial I will be selling, If I got 1 during comercial I would show it off all over the place and took pictures, before I sold.

If I got none during comercial season, I would keep the first and release the rest.

That would be a real nice problem to face. I'll never know the answer til it happens.
