Happened to me in 1987 - Block Island, my friend (a non-surf fisher) came along. "I'll go over here and cast" he says. 20 minutes later he's yelling for me. I go over and he has a 50 up on the cobble. Gags Needle with 1/0 trebles that are not even straightened, fish covered in kelp. He says "this is easy". We weigh it. I shake his hand, he releases it.
Was happy for him. Later in the week after he went home early, we all took our first 50s. That made his catch easier to take.
