My Location says it all:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>^^^^.

I am targeting 50+#'ers every time I'm out there.
C&R all but two for the entire year and never keep anything over 38"
for the table. that may change a little this year as iam entering a few more weigh slip tourneys. I am definitely more of the TonyO mind set. i am verrry thankful for each moon that i am blessed with to catch fish and with each fish that is able to find my eeeeeels/chunks/lures. just am not jazzed by anything under 40".

Just a quick thought for the i'm only out there for the stars, and sunrises, and the comraderie, and the ease of spirit and body participants. Can't ya do that AND target Large if you so desire? Just because you walk away from schoolies and booos to go get a fish of a lifetime does not mean that the sun ceases to rise, the waves will end their symphony, nor do the stars refuse to shine. Also, i don't think it works in the reverse order, gents. Am pretty sure that you have to target LAHHHGE first, and in doing so then you may land decently sized keepers and smaller, not the other way around

.

By using eeels and aiming high last year, my pb was bigger for both Stripers and boos and i got schooled by some much bigger beetches, rather than me landing more schoolies. This year should be even better, cause this time i've got their bait, i've got their address, i've gotten to know them better, and i've got a nice shiny, laser sharp invitation for them to meet me at my rocks !!
