If I ever caught a fifty pounder, I will be praising the lord, taking pictures, and getting it weighted at a local bait and tackle shop, be calling every family member I know, and be bragging about it to my fellow fishermen.
I've fished hard and often, have yet to break the 32in mark, never mind the fifty pounder.... So, to me, that's like the Holy Grail of striped bass. So sue me.
And oh, I'll definitely be putting it on the table for dinner to eat.
Is that so wrong?
Most fish that I catch, I release. And I heckle those who keep shorts, especially on the Canal, talk crap to them about how others lost their vehicles after being caught with shorts.
Does that make me a bad guy? Me think not!
I'm a responsible fisherman.
