Some good fish South..
 

A good amount of 50LB class fish were caught in Delaware Bay the Last two weeks, more than previous years... We Landed this 53.9lber in a tourney this past week.... Water was well into the 60's. Thursday felt like summer....

Nice Fish! Road trip!!!

yoyo :uhuh:

Thats where they are....

I just hope most of those fish are getting released for the good of the fishery :uhuh:.

Nice fish CowHunter

The bunker bite is totally on down in the Delaware Bay....

Unlike past years where we moved a boat down there for the fall we are keeping both of them up here in Margate and just "jumping on" with a few friends... but they have been mugging them up.

This is a pic of a friend and family with a 58.29#....54" length, 32" girth. The angler is the young lady on the far right...13 years old, and the new Junior World Record Holder if all goes right !

But as happy as she is, I think it's Dad that is smiling the most!

You really think people that only post here to show pictures of themselves and their friends holding big fish they caught on bait are releasing them?

now thats some fish-porn !!
:drool:

They were all released into coolers, but hey at least they were caught recreationally. There were dozens of 50's caught in the last two weeks, the boys down there are all enjoying a banner year, they are not complaining that the fishery is dead, for them its been getting better the last few years...

I really don't think it makes a difference if these fish were caught on bait or a plugs, boat or surf, regardless it was their last meal. In return some happy guys are eating some good striped bass with their families!

Second that.

Almost time for the annual winter slaughter!

I'll be posting daily updates all winter.

Actually, they are enjoying a heaping helping of toxins and carcinogens with their families sharpie.

Nice report, Ken. I'm jealous. Hey, if I was down there, I would be out fishing for them, with pogies, and keeping some. But that is me. And I am now on the north shore of Boston with no fish around......:smash:

While I feel Ken posts pics here to antagonize,he always has an audience to lead with their chin.Sheeple like woody,who most likely eat crap every day that they can't even pronounce are ripe for the picking.
Well done Ken, never got a chance to congratulate you at the Cup party but you and your team put a whuppin on the field.Woody might serve the stripers and those who illegally abuse the right granted to fish them if he took a road trip to Rudee Inlet and saw the redneck carnage that goes on over the fence.

Yeah, the bait part of my comment was the main point.

The Delaware Bay fishery really seems to be in good shape. I'm convinced the fall D-Bay fish are the Delaware River spawning stock, which doesn't seem to have nearly the amount of problems with disease and lack of spawning success that the Chesapeake fishery does, which is remarkable when you see what those fish have to swim past in order to reproduce.

Say what?:confused:

:lurk: Let winter begin!:rotf2:

Nice fish, the fall migration is on!

Hey Kenny, when ya gonna start sending some of them large back into the sea bro? I've killed alot of large myself over the years, but looking back I know it aint healthy for the stocks man. You dont need any more fanny patting brother, everyone knows ya catch em :)

Awesome fish for both captain and angler once again. :buds:

Sorry bud.. That fish was worth over 6K.. If I have a choice over killing a 50LB fish which is near the end of her life expectancy range anyway or 6k, Thats a no Brainer.. I let way more fish go than I catch..

And Yes I plan on killing more for this one for a shot at 100K plus

Beats bitchin about those that catch em over the winter... Its looking to be a warm winter this year, alot of fish down south will be inside three miles well into 2011...

keeping all these big fish is irresponsible. plain and simple

How big do you think these fish get? How many fish were recorded over 54" inches?? Al McReynolds fish was just that 54"... Just like humans, they reach a certain age and die... We all are aware of the class of fish that are prime spawners.. it Aint 50+lb fish... Besides, If I let it go it Gives JohnnyD a long shot in catching it one day, (Same as winning the lottery), and we dont want that! :-)))

Each fisherman is entitled to their opinion. If cowhunter catches monsters, and decides to keep them that is his choice, and right.
How can someone be irresponsible when they are abiding by the rules in place ? If anything, try to change the rules, IMHO.

interesting question

HOLY SH!T!!!!
No word of a lie, I think that pic might be my younger sister!!!!!
Go Girl, Go.

In Israel? :rotf2:
