I consider 30lb to be big fish from the boat; Had one cow last year, and many 20- ~25+ pounds (most released) all from the boat,

From shore, any fish over 20 is a good fish for me personally, and alot depends on conditions and location; a 20 from Q is different than a 20 from FPR is different from a 20 at the NR.. all have different circumstances regarding ease of landing, etc..

IMHO, ALL FISH COUNT... most of my boat fish came on lighter tackle than my surf stuff...

And Since I grew up during the moritorium, and catching anything close to a keepah was a challenege I tend to think anything with stripes is a nice fish!
