You not even supposed to cast or fish for them from a boat without a permit, nevermind land or keep them. On top of that, if you're on shore, you can't cast at them OR get a permit.

http://www.nmfspermits.com/ for permits. They're easy to get, you can buy them online and print them out on the spot.

A guy from Humarock got one from shore about 3 years ago. Can't remember the weight but it was around 65-70 # I think. He kept it too.

i tell you what, i would sacrifice not ever catching a 50 lb bass from the surf to catching a 50 lb tuna from the surf. What a battle.. i bet you would need alot of braid on your reel to stop a BFt... i'd say 300 yards minimum.
