Friday the 13th (july '01) south shore of mass... live eel... 44 1/2", 33lb 4oz.... standing on terra firma, so YES, IT COUNTS BABY!!

That was 2 years ago and I haven't sniffed 30#, let alone 40# since. In all fairness to myself, I haven't put alot of time in targeting large, but more this year. Biggest this year was a bit over 23lbs on a live herring from a boat.

I'll be back over 30#, maybe 40# next season 'cause I was just figuring out that live bait thing when the live bait swam away for the year. I was on some good fish there. Of couse, those will be loser boat fish so they won't be any fun.

Biggest fish on artificials was 37+" and 20lbs. on a 5" split tail ledgerunner in July off my favorite rockpile... smoke.
