How much does a 50#er weigh

Thanks for all the GREAT replys



But here's the awful part -

Had I been asked this question a couple of weeks ago, my answer might have been "Become the World Record" holder. Sometimes you need to experience something in order to be reminded of what's most important. I probably would have said, "I can take my nephew anytime, I WANT THE WORLD RECORD FISH!!!"....but the truth is, I don't take my nephew anytime...I hardly take him at all....yet his eyes are always full of hope when he sees me with a decent fish or any fish at all. He'll ask me, "can I come with you sometime?"......and of course I say, "sure, I'll take you sometime...but I normally go at night and it's too late for you to come with me"....I know that most of the time I'm just saying that to passify, I don't want a child holding me back, SHAME ON ME!!.... because I know I can take him scupping some morning, I just don't make the time...and that would satisfy him just as much. As a child, my brother was the "rock thrower" of the family, my father would take us fishing...I would be incredibly into it....my brother would wander off and throw rocks in the water (which really pissed both of us off...lol). Point is, he doesn't fish...so the only opportunity my nephew has is with me. I don't want to get too personal...I'm a bit of a private person. I just hope some of you out there can relate to my story and possibly open your eyes and hearts to our young generation that has yet to evolve. Teach them not to leave trash behind, tell them stories about the spots you've lost due to irresponsible anglers...and remind them that the bigger fish always came from these lost spots ....and don't take for granted what YOU can learn from THEM about yourself.

Happy Fishing -
