Hey cowhunter I will tell you this, plan to sacrifice fishing time for the little one! but, its well worth it! I simply found it imposible to fish the hours I wanted to and still be awake enough for the demands a little one can put on you, they get up early and in often when they are babies.The good news is it gets better and the time really does fly, hey family is very important and should always come first, the young years are the years that matter most and you can never get those back! I wish you well with your new child and enjoy it! It will give you a whole new perspective on life and everything else including fishing!

Hi, Bill: new here myself, so hi all!

Bill: never met you... but the night you caught your 52 in late October ('01?-- I forgot!)... I was in Rhody too... fishing a Breahway 20 miles East of where you reported catching your trophy! Had only teen fish myself that night (Oct. 21st or so off the top of my head?)... but was amazed & very jealous (& happy for you, as I know you're "hard- core") next day when Ronnie M. told me of your fish/ catch! Congrats again-- I wish to join you in that "50" club from surf soon enough!

I recall that night, was particularly cold (35 degrees or so)... & a NW wind? Did you really catch that fish, in the "famous" place reported, necessitating carrying it for 1.5 miles or so? If so... & I recall you did keep it & weigh it in?-- that's better legend/ strength, than carrying a "50" up the Bluff at SE! Any confirm if true/ accurate local, 5 years later?

Besides having a youngin'... was this "50" another reason, you were able to take "off" from the surf, for these years since? I wonder sometimes, if even a "60" would calm me down & keep me home more... Your example is a good one! Though I'm a Rhody visitor Falls mostly/ only... hope to meet & fish w/ you someday!
