Congratulations on your accomplishment -

Paul,

Like we were discussing the other day, a fish like this was likely to be caught by one of you guys. With the fish carrying good weight, it wouldn't surprise me to see more of them in this class taken, hopefully by you guys. Either way, 60# is a lifetime fish, you just don't see many of them, regardless of what year it is. Last year there were none documented on the entire striper coast that I know of. Keep taking advantage of them while they're around.

Awesome fish, Bill.

Unbelievable! Outstanding! A testament to a very talented fisherman that puts in the time and learns quickly.:kewl:

But... you might want to buy a few lottery ticket this week too...:bl:

Congrats :cheers:

You are right Mike. There are an awful lot of large around. I have never seen it this good. A morning with 4 fish in the mid to high 20's is just and "average" morning lately. A 30 just about raises and eyebrow. Just amazing.

I wonder about the long term effect on the population with this many large being caught. Most are bing released but I believe there is still a statistical mortality that has to be taken into account. We will find out soon enough.
Where's that Baby????

Congrats Bill, man you're on fire! Keep at it, the 70 might be next! Don't forget to get me the pics!

Congrats Bill (#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&)!
:btu:

time in, be it boat or surf pays off. and good friends, with good intel, like you mentioned, always is a plus.

Paul.. it has been done, and then capped, either later the same week, or perhaps a week later with one over 70.. in the early eighties, on the cape, from shore.. T.S. junior.. :)

meybe Bill will cap his week with a 70 :kewl:

Nice fish Bill ! You deseve it for all the time you have put in over the years .

Wow.way to go Bill.
I can't imagine the cloud ur riding on.'
Good for U..

Congrats on the catch. You are the Man without a doubt.

OK, thanks Karl. deep dive into the archives now. let's see if I can find it. I have meticulous records from that time.

congrats Bill, heck of a nice fish. Now go get that 70#

Kudos to Capt'n Jim White as well !!!

Nice catch

Nice fish, I am jealous

unreal... just unreal I am speechless
congrats on reaching another milestone!

What can you say??? Unreal :claps:

That is a fish! If they keep eating like this, and stick around for another 3 weeks like Bill thinks,......how big will some get??? I have a feeling this roll he is on is not over.........

Great story and awesome fish. Congrats,well done

Nice fish Bill! Congratulations. This is what is awaiting you late in the fall after all have thought they are long gone. It certainly went to the right person. The fish of a life time! One who has clearly has paid his dues, and is a relentless pursuer of the fish, and the sport we all so love. I hope you are registered on OTW tourney this year. It would be an honor to witness you get the award and get the first 60# pin! Again my sincerest congratulations!!!! Later, L

Incredible fish, Mr Nolan. Congratulations.
