Cool

"LARGE" ?????? WHO-T-F cares? I mean, I caught a bunch of 20 to 25 pound fish in the last couple weeks (on plugs) from shore and my skiff and they all fought great, cartwheeling through the sky and rolling and thrashing just after the hook-up ( my mentor Art Crago said to me once after losing a good fish after a tremendous but brief hook-up on a Danny"You got what you wanted out that fish right? So don't be disapointed" he was right, as usual)

I have caught a lot of "large" fish in my time but the to me the mark of a good fish is not the scale weight but the fight and twenty to 35 pound fish 99% percent of the time will fight the pants off of a 45 pounder.

Thats the large for me, the fight not the fat.

Why even try.........
