Interesting, John. Look at that run of big fish from 1978 to 1988. Pretty impressive.
In my opinion, this speaks to the recent thread regarding whether there are still as many large fish around. Given, one club trophy is anecdotal evidence. But the fish are substantially smaller from 1989 on, without a 50 pounder in the bunch. I bet plenty of other club trophies would show a similar pattern.
#^^^^^^&, your 2000 trophy win notwithstanding, you have to admit that looking at these numbers it appears it's been quite a bit harder to come by a 50 in the last 10-12 years.
