Nice fish Dave! I figured the other sock was missing because you chit yourself after you realized you had a fish over 50

Congrats Dave... enjoy the moment and the memory. Don't second guess the release - someone that fishes as hard and smart as you will get another chance or two.

The other sock is missing because its what pushed the fish over 50. Just kidding, obviously. Great catch Dave.

Nice one :fishin:

Mass fish?
What was in that belly?

Nebe & Josh you guys are hilarious!!

Motox there were two mostly digested fish, looked like scup or bunker and it looked like some small squid pieces too, but everything was very well digested, the fish were just bones.

Congrats, Dave! Awesome fish :kewl:.

Edit: Can I get a refund in my plugs so I can buy eels :tooth:?

Nice fish Dave...hard work pays off...you def deserve it....feel not bad about harvesting the fish of a lifetime...releasing 50's isn't the answer...releasing 20s and 30s is!!!!!

Congrats! Goes to show the hard work, strategy, travel and everything else pays off!

Awesome stuff Dave, congrats! Tell us the story (or write it up for the fishermen) either way love to hear it...

I was kind of holding off on that because I, I don't know, I guess I don't want to make a big show out of it :blush:

Maybe I'll get the itch tonight and put it down on paper.

:btu: Congrats Dave, now retire those slimy bastages.

Congrats Dave!

sweet deal Dave, keep it reel, and reel and reel and reel till the line runs reel low

I get it, no pressure, but I bet it's a cool story...

I throw plugs all the time, but when the situation calls for eels... guess who's getting a hook stuck through their head? :uhuh:

Shop it around to the best-paying magazines first.

Not as interesting as the night I gave him fashion advice on what to wear at his wedding while eeling on the Westport River :hihi:

Great catch...congrats again.
