I know of a 52 lber. that was caught on an October afternoon from the Western Long Island Sound surf by a "Googan" who was using a long- shank/ wired leadered- Bluefish hook, and ratty piece of frozen Bunker tail bait... targeting Bluefish with a "crappy" rod & reel! THAT's luck!!
Mark M. taking a 64 lber. on a plug from Montauk Light on a rough Thanksgiving eve. night 15 years ago... or Iron Mikes' 60 & 50's from the surf also on plugs-- NO way that's "luck" at all!
