LeCounts1099 Sorry-- but dropping live Eels from a boat off the South side of the Porkchop at night...
is about the closest thing to "shooting fish in a barrel" as exists in the Striper Universe! --
ALONG with wire- line trolling of Umbrella rigs, Pogy Yo- yo-ing... and wire- line big Spoon trolling...
That might explain why the guy seemed hardly excited by the catch until the weigh- in!

Now there is a quote from someone that has no idea!!
Great fish, better then a fish of a life time for most surf or boat!!
Congrats!! |

Congrats to the angler  if I'm not mistaken that's the first 60 lb pin OTW has handed out in the striper cup.
Nice work.  |

To catch a fish that size is great!!!
Does not matter how you catch it!!!
If I was surfcasting in the surf and that fish swam near me and I caught
it with my BARE HANDS I would be proud of it!!! (LOL'S!!!)

Gunpowder...  ... no one here even remotely called Mark a "clown!" (or anything else...) This is why careful reading of what people write here is important before passing judgments... & hitting "save!" 
... AS that "major contributor" here FaH chose to do! As you see... HE was the only one throwing around the "clown" insult like a typical third Grader who only cares about his own opinions! 
Mark is obviously a hardcore & thus one of "us"-- no one was negative about him at all! Just was a lament here about how exciting & what big news that big gal would have been at the end of one of our lines while shorebound & fishing (lighter) surf- tackle, was all... (Wasn't looking to cause controversy-- I didn't even participate in that "Surf vs. Boat" thread now going on!)
FaH:  -- no surprise your Post as usual is few to no words, nor of any general interest: I just read (skimmed) your last 50 here on S-B... & let's just say, "where's the beef?" 
Nice that you have "hot" celeb. chicks pics at the ready on your Computer like that... I WONDER what you use those for when not launching infantile attacks for personal/ grudge reasons on fishing websites against strangers? (Starts with "beating" I'm guessing?...) 
Me? I have a 25 yr. old GF keeping me busy...  thus no chick- pics to oogle ever needed on MY computer!  |

uhh, yeah but Fishaholic can outfish you shore or boat, blindfolded. An d as you skimmed his 50 posts, did you see him belittle anyone's fish? I doubt it, but you felt the need to do it, so thus the "clown" title. If you need to put down others accomplishments to make you feel better, more power to you. Fishing is fishing, boat or surf.
Was it an accomplishment when your "idols" were catching trophies in the Snowstorm Bilitz? Any dolt with a rod and lure could have caught them too if they were there. Kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, no? |

Well, RIJ... In a word: No!  (& I don't accept challenges to manhood/ surf- prowess from those I don't know-- & who are obviously biased so will never judge fairly! Others I'll take on gladly!
Preparation & focus & desire & carefully maintained equipment (esp. pre- VS & ZB...) PLUS being in the right place at the right time = DZ's accomplishment that you want to diminish-- same thing you want to get on ME for? 
And DZ did it on mono. & on an artificial from boulder- strewn shores that would scare the hardiest fisherman!  Kudos DZ!
Cronies out of the woodwork will come here I'm sure!
Congrats Mark-- you're in the "Sixty" club! I've been working my ass off to join you for many years-- I'm just going the shore & plug route like my personal Bass "heros" did! Hey, Iron Mike!  |

I'd be bragging about this fish even if I found it washed up dead on the beach in the hot July sun! 
Great fish, boat or sand, period. I hope I get one someday! |

Great catch there
Gunpowder, congratulate your friend Mark for me 
that is a large bass and certainly a trophy , as long as it's not dragged up in a net and it's caught on a rod and reel from shore or boat ,on bait or artifitial, that is impressive in my book. |

Let's make this even more polarizing - he caught it with a Van Staal 
Seriously, I think we are over analyzing this. We are not talking about a situation where some person that had never casted to bass before lands a 60 at their feet by sheer luck. We are talking about someone that used a proven method from a proven platform that was lucky enough to have this fish before him and skilled enough to do something about it.
Circumstances are what are put in front of you and what you do with them plus some lady luck.

That is an awesome fish.
I would love to catch something like that from the kayak. Actually right now, ANYthing next to the kayak would be good. I lost my mojo when I moved to Mass.

Nice fish!
I give him credit for heading out alone at night on a boat.
I have been on land for so long, I have roots growing from my shoes.

Ahhh...nice fish but anyone can catch a 62 lb fish if they have 2 arms. You should try it with one arm like my heroes, "Lefty" Loosey (ca. 1964)or "Right Hand" Mary (July 12, 1983 in 4 foot seas).
Gimme a break it's a great fish by an experienced angler and somebody has to belittle it by comparing it to fish in a barrel because it's not the way they fish. Absolutely unbelievable.
Again, GREAT JOB, MARK!!

just one clarification - I was not diminshing DZ's catch. My reference to the Snowstorm Blitz was to identify a specific event/time when large fish were around in numbers and on the feed. If you discount guys getting fish @ BI, you must diminsh all fish caught in a blitz?
