Who cares anymore....
How many guys that fished for scup nailed large bass along the Rhody shores...
It's all chit arse luck.... I caught 3 striped bass over 50lbs... and not one of them came from attempting to catch a striper...
One 53lber came off the Frances fleet back in 00 or 01 on a canceled trip for cod the captain decided due to the lack of anglers on ship to make it a scup/seabass trip... LOL... bait clam, gear 4/0 Penn Senator loaded with 80#fusion with a 60# leader, hooks were packacked 7/0 and 8/0 cod hooks with the rubber teaser on the shank, 16oz bank, CMS custom cod rod, 20' of water and i think Ron Arra could have hit us from the Galilee shore line. on clam belly...
Sakonnet tracks in 94 fishing for tog with clam necks I set the hook and thought i was stuck... 30# big game no leader 1/0 j-hook 5oz bank, 10' ugly stick and a Daiwa 7000C, Riverside Marine on the scale 51.5lbs...
Tiverton Bridge... snagging pogies in 92 using my dads boat rod and squidder with 45# squidding line a monster snagger... I hooked a pogie the ball opened and this monster bass inhaled it, pogie and hook deep when i set the hook i killed it because it was just dead weight and when i took it out of the water the tail was going spazzy... Weighted at Manchesters seafood @50lbs 4oz...
all of them Chit arse luck...
