I have no doubt there are still 100lb cows out there, they stay offshore, and us surfcasters dont really get a shot at them.
I know of several reliable reports of fish 80 plus, always seem to get away tho...a scuba aquaintance of mine swore hes seen bass that would smoke the record, ive heard this from other people also, I believe Mike Laptew even talked about seeing some fish over 80lbs once diving off Newport.
I cant even imagine a bass over 100lbs, imagine that thing swimming by you out on a bar in the wee hours of the AM
