During that period from 1978-1988, remember fishing pressure dropped of sharply as did the numbers of juvenile fish.
Therefore for those diehard surfcasters most of the fish they were targeting were big. These fish had little competition for food so would weigh 40+lbs and only be 45" long. 1978-1988, can you say Block Island.....
