What a day

Well I started off the day with a 30lb fish 44" long my biggest ever so far. Then 45 minutes later a 25lb fish 37" long. Both fish caught in Boston Harbor, I promised the capt. that I would'nt divulge his secret weapon though. We also caught many more in the high teens, and one bluefish. As soon as I get my pictures back I will post them. I have to go take a nap now.

I want to see the 37 incher. At 25 pounds, that fish must be a hog. Congratulations

Nice fish, plural... But you'll ah, need to errr, e-mail me the info as I have a boat tourney in a few weeks ;D and will need every advantage I can get...

Now to get those big gals from your shore bound homey holes...

But like Damon said, that's a FAT fish to be 25pounds @37 inches. The 30#er is in the right range for 44 inches in length. To give you an idea, I had a 42 inch bass a couple years ago that weighed 23 pounds. It was healthy bu by no means fat... Your typical 37 inch fish runs 18-20 pounds. Did the charter eyeball it or weigh it?

No problem, send me those pics and I'll post them for you... I cut out the islands in the background that would potentially give away where you were... But I need to know the what, hehehehe....

Nice fish, I took a 44 incher earlier this year that only weighed 28 lbs. Some of those long lean fish fight like there's no tomorrow, though.
