Was a "67" I recall... Second- most impressive part of the story to me, was that he carried it back alone up the South cliffs of B. I.!
Tim was (is) an all- time great no- doubt!... But like most of those "Fisherman" mag. vets., they haven't written anything truly educational or non- rehashed in years! Same for Muller, Rosko, & even Frank D. Yes, all greats, but today not the best reading, I agree w/ Nib...
If you read Franks' books, you've read his all...
As an aside... I really don't see how any Surf- rat that targets "large," can really feel properly- gunned in the big- water/ Ocean surf, with a 7 or even 8 footer. Those who know will tell you that even 20 lb. test on a 10 footer (I'm still a mono. guy!), is "light tackle" when that 40+ comes knocking (forget the 50+!)
