61.44lb Montauk Surf

My friend Mike stopped by the jobsite with this 61.44lb 54"long 30"girth slob that he took on a Beachmaster yellow darter in the Montauk surf Monday night.. Helluva fish of a lifetime Congrats Mike..

That's not a slob, that's the surf fish of 100 lifetimes.

Mike also released a 55 2 weeks earlier because he had a 38 on the beach good karma I'd say.. This 61 will look nice w/the 52 he got 4 yrs ago on the wall... I know I have fish envy just glad I was able to see it and lift it myself HEAVY.. I now have one of it's scales taped to my rod, liitle luck never hurt...

As someone who's done professional photo manipulation I can say the picture looks pretty real

First photo looks like a different fish than the second. stresses the importance of camera angles I guess...

Awesome! To catch that out of the surf is the ultimate angling feat for east coast surfcasting.

Beautiful fish. He will enjoy that mount and the memories till he is very old. I can't imagine what it will cost nowadays. It was 12 bucks and inch in 1990.

He released a 55 #er because he had a 38 #er on the beach. That 61 #er is somebodys way of saying I love you.
