Last night, I was several places with my partner from Westerly to 'Gansett. We fished with and spoke to 15 hardcore surfmen and we only saw 1 15lb fish caught. By my partner.
I cault a 51.5" fish two years ago that was just shy of 45lbs weighed in about 8 hours after catch....I sure thought it was a fifty

Don't get me wrong... great fish I'd be ecstatic, just may not be a fifty. I caught a 39" the other night that only weighed in at 17lbs

Yup, I have caught several around 50" in the past 3 years that were well under 50#. I think the days of a 50 being a 50 are gone. At least in these parts. What do you guys think?

From another site:
51"
Max lb 62.0
Avg lb 55.0
Min lb 45.0
Congrats on a big fish NoSpots; noone I know has one close to that big this year....

Nope, in fact I think its the oppisite, there have been more 50lb and 60lb fish caught at block Island this year then any time since the 80s, granted most are from boat but whats the difference? it proves there out there.

I guess, but at anyrate the fish must have been at least 45-48lbs, Man with all the top dogs covering the whole coast last night from boat and shore and your the only one nailing these corker bass, you must be on to something. Congrats!

There must be a story? I can't imaging landing a fish that size in that wretched surf without some excitement...

Please do tell.

If the fish is measured from tip to fork at 50" it should be close to 50#. At 51" over all (tip to tip), the fork length may only be 48". Most of those weight charts are for fork length. 48" fork should be in the low to mid 40#'s range unless she was really fat.
Regardless, it's still a great fish. Congrats!
