I have one fish on my wall, I don't need two. no need to be greedy. my hope is that someone will have the same type of memorable experience as I had catching my trophy.... but if everyone takes several of these big girls home, that will not be the case. good luck to all this year.

40 years in the surf. Never caught a 50. Lots of 40s. Never a 50.
My late friend Lanny Gazinni, one of the best commercial rod and reel guys ever. Fish the Back all season for 30 years. Never got a 50.
What the hell is the difference? Getting a 50 is luck more than skill.
No one can honestly tell me that they went out one night with the expressed purpose of catching a 50 and did so.
