Anyone ever see
A 39 inch fish that weighed just over 30#s? Picked one up this am. Couldn't believe it. All the other fish had average girths but this thing was almost as round as it was long. It was 39 on the button. I have never seen a fish that shirt weigh so much. Maybe it ate a dozen yoyod pogies. Should have taken a pic.

I caught a 41" fish that went 31#s and I thought that was a fat fish. Only thing in its gut was seaweed  (maybe it was grubbing on the bottom?) you got a pig though... |

Not only did it have a full belly but sounds like one that still had eggs in it... I had one recently like that....

My thoughts exactly. Some fish don't drop their eggs for whatever reason. I caught one about 32" a few years back and kept it. It had to go close to 18 lbs, and when I opened it to see what it had been stuffing itself on, I found a mass of dead eggs that were the color and consistency of green Pla-Doh. |

That fat pig had 7 pogie heads in it. No eggs. |

Congrats on your night, Jay. In college, I once had a chick who was almost as fat as she was tall. Like yours, it's a night I'll never forget.

fish sounds like the "good old days". that's when there was plenty of bait around. instead of pogies inside, just maybe it could have been clam cakes.

put them back alive. i do have grandkids.

Oh, I thought you were from shore. That answers the question I had. Still a good night for you, though. |

I'm sure he already knows. He had breakfast with the Canal Cowboy this morning and then they were spending the day riding the bike path together. |

Wow, the Cowboy is a good samaritan. That's very cool of him to do that.
Paul, that's a real fattie. Nice fish.
