Being a skeptic does not make one a jealous a$$hole as some would like to believe.

1) Looks like he is submitting it for the record.

2) How long are all the other 81+ pound fish you've seen?

5) There are plenty of very big fish caught in CT during the summer.

6) The guy has a bunch of 50 pound plus fish to his credit. I'd say he's pretty well known to a lot of striper fishermen.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
