That is a monster Tog. I fish for Tog's a lot and my best is 10 lbs. I have rarely seen Tog's in the teen's but they do exist. Big Mama's come to spawn in May in the river mouths . He should of mounted it for sure. It is the equivalent to a 50 lb. Bass.
In Mass. a Tautog of 8 lbs. or more is considered an exceptional catch and you can fill out a weigh master affidavit at a bait & tackle shop and recieve a brass pin from the state .
Bass -35 lbs or more
Bluefish -10 lbs or more
Tog - 8 lbs or more
Blues are easy to collect pins. I have three pins for togs.
