Montauk?? I'm going there this weekend!! Which rock? What tide? How far out? What color darter???????????????????????????????????

very nice fish

Mike also released a 55 2 weeks earlier because he had a 38 on the beach good karma I'd say.. This 61 will look nice w/the 52 he got 4 yrs ago on the wall... I know I have fish envy just glad I was able to see it and lift it myself HEAVY.. I now have one of it's scales taped to my rod, liitle luck never hurt...

Nice cooler !!! :laugha:
Even nicer fish !!!
Congrats to your friend !

that's either a photoshopped picture or the fish is so huge it looks photoshopped. regardless congratulations. :shocked:

As someone who's done professional photo manipulation I can say the picture looks pretty real :drool:

the other fish was on a pencil popper right? i remember that one..

that,s some wet dream that came thru // good congrats to your friend ;;

john if you on >>I,m going to the [SPOT} in a few minutes .,.

Carted that thing around for 2 days spreading the word by the looks of the date on the photo. NICE fish.

First photo looks like a different fish than the second. stresses the importance of camera angles I guess...

couldn't resist....

:shocked::laugha:

:eyes:

holy crap.

nice fish!

Thing looks like it ate the largest fish I've caught this year!

plugs :hihi:

yes. that's some serious bassin. beyond my wildest dreams. well done. :smokin:

Great work.....Congratulations....

Awesome! To catch that out of the surf is the ultimate angling feat for east coast surfcasting.

Wow, wet dreams have nuttin on that slob!

unreal!! what a fish! congrats to that guy!

a shore caught fish and caught on a plug. most noble :D

Beautiful fish. He will enjoy that mount and the memories till he is very old. I can't imagine what it will cost nowadays. It was 12 bucks and inch in 1990.

He released a 55 #er because he had a 38 #er on the beach. That 61 #er is somebodys way of saying I love you.

Now thats a monster of a fish. Congrats!!

congrats! He's got the hot hand stay on those fish!!!!
