What really absolutely amazes me is 2 fish that size in the same week.

I have over 40 years chasing Bass and I cannot recall anyone, boat or surf, getting a 50 and a 60 in the same week.

Bank in the early 70's (the good old days, ha, ha) when there were a lot of big fish, I don't remember this happening. 2, 50s YES! Back to back 40 and 50 YES! A 50 and a 60, back to back, not that I can remember.
When you consider all the factors that have to be included and how everything has to go exactly right, it's a mind blower.

The one downside, which I have spoken to Bill about, at length, is,

Where do you go from here? How do you top this? Do you loose the "fire in the belly, the eye of the tiger"?

I once knew a guy on the Block back in the early 80s that got a 64 at the Poop Shute one night. He hung up his rods and never fished again. Said "I'll just never top this".

Double edged sword, perhaps?

No boat, back in the suds.
