biggest surf-caught fish came this fall from the beach in Westbrook CT; about 46" and prolly close to 40 pounds. fish had been loading up on bunker for months along the entire Connecticut coast. the fishing this past season in CT was just unbeleiveable- 40" fish were pretty much an "every night" thing- and plenty of them- but not that many above 44". this fish grabbed a Mr Wiggly plug (couldn't get a touch on any of my dannys) and proceeded to show me whose boss for about 10 minutes............. then I showed her
after that it was a struggle to get her back to the beach (lotsa rocks on the point I was fishing, and my headlamp dies after the first few minutes
) when I got back to my car, 2 chicks driving home from the bar stopped and gauked at the fish (the booze smell was knockin' me over.........) to top off my night.
3 days later the "big blow" came through (last weekend of October) and things never recovered..........
