Looks good...for a dead fish.

:bc::bc::bc::bc::bc::bc::bc:

That one won't be heading up North! Take a look at the leader board posted in the window. At bunch of fifty's won't be making their way here either!


I don't consider myself a tree hugger by any means but the more I look at that beast I think of a few things.

1. How old is a fish of that size?
2. Depending on it's age if released how long could it expect to live?
3. If he doesn't have it mounted and eats it how good or bad does that meat taste compared to a smaller size fish?

:rollem:

Well, I can tell you guys that there are alot of 50's that wont make it up youre way this year and they wont even make it to Montauk. Yes, many were killed this year off NJ and NY, but it is a matter of common sense... Those big bodies of fish need a sustainable food supply and will stay close to it... That body, like it does every year will stay near the miles of pogie schools and wont go past Shinnecock, LI... You new england boys need to stop bitchin about killing bass and fix your disaster of a bait problem you have! Only in New england do you have the commercial Netting of pogies in harbors and bays... NY and NJ did their part and thats why the boys are enjoying awesome fishing here even still and its almost mid July and have for the last 4-5 years. Those fish arent heading north period... There have been dozens of 50's killed hear this year, give the guy a break, he got a fish of a lifetime and he killed it.... Im suprised it took this long for somebody to start ragging, sorry the big fish arent stacked for you... You know you do have to kind of work for em?????

For the record, I would have "killed" it too, had I the opportunity to have hard work pay off in a catch like that...... It's not like they just fall off the truck..... nor do forties or fifties. Comes from putting in the work, the time accumulating the knowledge from all your previous experiences pursuing striped bass. Damn nice fish.
