Ive been back and forth to VA quite a few times in the last 6-7 weeks and gotta say, there have been some real big fish caught down there. I would be willing to bet thats where the next world record will be coming from. Guys have been just figuring out alot there in the last few years. The eelin' thing just took off the last few years, and now way more people fishing. Totally different type of fishing than up this way. The fish just have way more girth down there. If guys saw the amount of 4-6" Pogies down there it is pretty sick, sometimes 20-30 feet thick. your line shakes as you drift through the schools which are acres and acres long. In any case, there have been at least 4 60's that I know of in the last few weeks and many, many more 50's. which, by the way are caught by someone on nearly a daily basis. If you look at the 73, the length isnt impressive at all...52"??? The fish just dont get the girth up in the Northern states as down there...way more bait I guess....On a side note, as far as numbers go, they are way down from last year. Guess that will be the case as each year passes. Hope to a great 08' to everyone...
