62lb caught south of the block....

Yes it was from a boat and he was a commercial fisherman. Was it as good as from land no but is it an accomplishment. YES YES in my opinion it is a major accomplishment.

I just keep getting a blank white screen when I click on the link above. Anyone else?

Sorry-- but dropping live Eels from a boat off the South side of the Porkchop at night...

is about the closest thing to "shooting fish in a barrel" as exists in the Striper Universe! --

ALONG with wire- line trolling of Umbrella rigs, Pogy Yo- yo-ing... and wire- line big Spoon trolling...


That might explain why the guy seemed hardly excited by the catch until the weigh- in!


Now... pitching Wood from the beaches there for that same fish/ goal: THAT'S "high art," relatively speaking!

Those commercial rod-and-reel guys who fish Block Island from a boat alone at night are scary good.

Great point Joe. I wonder how many of the surf guys who denegrate the boat guys would run to the Block at night alone.
I really tired of the boat vs. surf BS. I did the surf for 40 years. I've done the boat for 3. Sure it's easier in the boat but a 60 is a 60 and I don't care where you caught it. It's huge accomplishment.
