There were a lot more 50's caught this year than reported. the boats did some real big work on the big ladies. I think the problem is that when someone reports a large fish the masses get crazy and inundate the beach or area that the fish was taken or reportedly taken from. It is almost like spot suicide and there is enough of that already. I believe that the guys/gals getting the majority of the 50's are diehards and have seen first hand what reporting major fish can do to a spot that has been producing with little pressure. Telling one person or showing the slob in a busy tackle shop can lead to a disaster later on down the road.
