A few weeks before Tony's fish, Steve Petri from Lindenhurst (the guy who used to--or still does--make those flounder shaped lures) set the 16# class line record with a 69#. I think Petri was using 15# test pink Ande on a Penn 750, and the line met the 16# specs. Same general area. There was a short run of more 50+ fish that year than most people had ever seen before or since. Tony's fish came after that blitz had quieted down--first week of November, I think. I know he was into cod that night as well as bass
It was also the same year as the famous "Columbus Day Blitz" on the Vineyard, where a 50 didn't even get you on the daily Derby board, let alone the Grand
