Life Time Acheivement Question
What individual fisherman has personally caught the most fish fifty pounds or better in their lifetime? I don't know the answer to this question but maybe some of you guys do.

I'm sure no one knows. Alot of really good fishman keep there mouths shut. They don't brag and post pics of the fish they catch/kill. |

I bet it was a narragansett indian in 1432. Tackle was a net made out of vines stretched across the mouth of the narrow river in late may  |

Ray Jobin is a good guess along with that older guy I wanted to see in Narragansett a few years back with DZ  |

There is a gentleman who fished the backside of Fisher's Island that had documented 55 fish over fifty pounds fishing commercially from that area over a long period of years. I knew his name once but age fogs my mind and I cannot recall it right now.

I think we're talking about the same guy, Flap - but I seem to be suffering from early-onset Oldtimers Disease, too.
I dunno, then again, maybe it's not all that early for me... |

Yup, that's him, Bry and as for Steve - well 
In fact, saw Steve and the Mrs on Sea Wolf the morning of the charter my brother-in-law and I took with Corey, as usual they had just limited out on fluke. Told Steve about Scott's 1st bass, the 35# -Steve shook his hand and said "Welcome aboard."
Yup, one of the all-time greats in my book. |

Right you are Bryan.
I remember Harley had 4 50s in 1 DAY back 6 or 7 years ago. I have seen him in his 14' tin boat up against the rocks at Bonnet Point in 6' seas crushing huge fish.
He is like a ghost. Never hear a word about him but he has more 50s than I have 20s. |
No boat, back in the suds.

From shore, I'll bet you that Tony C's is up there. Same with Al Bentsen from NY.

Someone mentioned Sherwood Lincoln.How is he?He has what I believe to be the greatest catch on a single outing,two 64# fish in one night.Second to that is Ray Mascierelli with two 59's almost back to back on the same day.You just got to admire guys who love what their doing and WORK hard at it.
