Happy Flu Year..
I Couldn't recall off the top of my head the weight of Bobs fish.
You have to realize back then if you put in your time it is possible to catch a fifty ,to sixty five with a sixty eight being slim er let alone a seventy two or three
There were a lot of heavy hitters back then and the one that I heard the most of where the ones in town.
Remember this was very sneaky fishing in a small area at night ,no lights and the fogy er the better.
From an overlook one could tell a few from there outboard sound when moving for a new drift,the draft of Nick the Barber and wife because the boat sat low with the heavy bodies,most of the boats were tin fourteen footers and that made the sixteen footers stick out.
There was a plumber,a pharmacist,a postal worker,a clothing store manager,an outboard mechanic,construction worker,wood work magician and I haven't even mentioned the inshore fishermen.
I Don't remember the year the bay exploded but it happened after a local guy took an outdoor writer fishing and then it appeared in a magazine or newspaper.
after that the explosion took place
The end for me was nine big fish one night followed by seven big fish the next. after that welcome the seals
The locals would moan about the Worcester warriors from then on moving in to join the fun
Ithink it was late fifties or early sixties but don't hold me to it
