There is nothing like walking through Tony's door and immediately being surrounded by Bertha and others and pictures of same.

A few weeks before Tony's fish, Steve Petri from Lindenhurst (the guy who used to--or still does--make those flounder shaped lures) set the 16# class line record with a 69#. I think Petri was using 15# test pink Ande on a Penn 750, and the line met the 16# specs. Same general area. There was a short run of more 50+ fish that year than most people had ever seen before or since. Tony's fish came after that blitz had quieted down--first week of November, I think. I know he was into cod that night as well as bass 
It was also the same year as the famous "Columbus Day Blitz" on the Vineyard, where a 50 didn't even get you on the daily Derby board, let alone the Grand  |

Did a recent google search looking for a clear picture of Bertha. Unfortunately, the only one I found was under copyright and I couldn't lift/post it.

If I'm not mistaken the 3rd mount on Tony's wall is of a 60+ fish (the other 2 are of Bertha) it always amazed how small it looks compared to the 73.
