Baitcaster wanted me too add, that for him, back then was a matter of dollars and cents. He wasn't looking for big fish too put on the wall, but make money for food on the table. Today He is fishing for the fun off it. Doesn't matter how big or how small just so its pulling the other way. Doesn't matter what species either, Striper, Blue's, Albies, Bones, Cod. You name it, its all about getting out there and wetting a line.
As for myself-
1997- 26 lbs from shore, Pogie Chunk. This year was my biggest so far at 36 1/2 lbs - Live mac. Which was an awesome thrill. But I also agree with SM & BC, we are just out there enjoying the outdoors and having fun. If you get lucky enough too hook into the big one then life is good!!! But I believe that having fun catching alot of fish vs trying to only target the big fish isn't what its about for us. I just like the schycosis (sp?) of it all!!!!!!
