'91 Marthas Vineyard,Chicken scratch bomber 1:00 pm Nov 2nd at Quansoo.Fish was 52" long X 29 1/2"
in girth.Caught and released.If you go by the fishes weight formula,(girth squared times the length divide by 800) it comes to 56 lbs and change.Never know for sure cause I let it go but if that wasn't a 50 I would like to see what is.
Sure looked every bit of it to me.
Funny how you fish your brains out all those nights freezing and wet and tired and than catch a fish like that in the middle of the day at a spot no ones fished in months and make about 6 casts before it hits.Wasn't even seriously fishing.Matter of fact I was leaving in a few hours and was just killing time.
I always thought I got that fish just because I made about 50 million casts before I got one that big.Pure law of averages.Plain and simple.Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.
