Back to Back 50's

Keep both. Get both officially weighed, sell if legal to do so, or mount one if the fish is so big I may never get one bigger. My feeling is a 50 is a really old fish and close to the end of its life.Keeping one won't affect the population one bit. On the other hand, releasing one that big is cool too, just sharing what I would probably do if given the chance. You know me, trust but verify when someone claims to catch a so called "50".

Now to John's point if it's a 60 then that's a different story. i know a guy on The Block who caught a 64 about 20 years ago and.....QUIT!

So if I caught a 60 I might hang it up and hit golf balls.

Id keep em and set up a one day fish and chips stand on thames street in newport.


seriously, i would keep the 1st one and release the 2nd, unless it was over 78 lbs.. no need to kill 2 50's
