Forget the 50's - a 61 from Rhody?
 

The original author of this post might be around these parts, but I just couldn't help posting this. Stay tuned for confirmations...13yrs old and 61#...wow, how will this kid ever fish again for stripers? How do you out do 61#'s?!? LOL - wish I had that problem.

Uhhhhhh............:eek:

Whadda matta, BeachWalker? Cat got your tongue yet?:p

Uhhhhhh............ :eek:

Well, well, looky here, are you the 13 yrs old who caught the 60 lber?:D

Oh, to be that 13 yr old :p

Hahahaha, the time of the beginning of our puberty. And a full of dorky and embarassing memories of our pre-adolescence....:( I remembered how my father tried to teach me about sex education...It was very hilarious and he got pissed.:o

Drunk ?!!

No, he couldn't explain it to me.

details details.......

YUP!!
 

I was at the tackleshop where it was weighed in and yes its true

61.20lbs 49".


What a fish!!!

No details to tell ya except it was caught from a boat with a rod and reel!! And yes it was the first striper caught by the 10yr old.




Russ

krap........

WOW.......wonder how much the kid weighed!!!!!! :eek:

Forget the 50's?????????????? huh

Ya know, what a second here....49" and 61 lbs?....that thing must have been a football........I've gotten one at 48" and it was only 36 lbs....and THAT one had a big belly on it.......

Not saying it's not for real, but......:confused:

I posted this elsewhere yesterday - Bud8 - musta missed ya...

The fish was taken aboard Capt Mike Neto's Boat. He is also the one that won the MSBA Tourniment

WOW!!!

That's one fat belly......WOW.......

Congrats to the Kid......:cool: :cool:

Congradulations :happy: :happy: :happy: to that 13 year old. He will remember that for the rest of his life:cheers: :jump: :walk: :walk: :walk:

:eek5: :eek5: :eek5: :eek5:

WOW!
Grats to that kid!

13?
fish musta been as big as him!

This boy must have passed his manhood rite.:D

The fish always go to the fishermen:D

It does sound a little short for its weight...but not impossible:

My 58#'er was 53" long....it "should have" weighed 68# from the chart. I would rather have an overweight fish then a starving one.

Crap!!! what a lucky kid!!! his father must have been crapping in his pants, seeing his own kid outdo him...

That kid will forever remember his first striper, that's for sure.

Congrats to that kid, if he ever sees tis post!!!!

:happy: :happy: :happy:

I think those old charts considered fork length instead of overall.

Using the Girth x Girth x Lenght / 800 method shows the fish at 70#s so for it to be 61 is certainly reasonable. I lifted this fish myself and can attest to it's size...

I don't deny it...a 61 is a monster...no matter what the dimensions!

I wonder if its the 66 I heard about, and its just gained a few lbs in the news traveling?:confused: That kid is ruined for life now, unless he starts fishing for shark or tuna. Killer catch though;)

Measurements don't surprise me......

Most of the giants are always going to be abnormal fish.

Think about it....if you're an alien fishing for big humans with cheeseburgers as bait, you're not going to win the tournament catching the 35 year old guy who might still go to the gym a few times a week and buys his cloths off the rack at the department store. You're going to win catching the obscenely huge slob who buys his cloths from some obscure website for abnormally large people.

Same goes for stripers......the really big ones will rarely have the same proportions as the overall sample size.

i like that analogy blitz.

man, that's one lucky kid.
