Me too. After I weighed the fish in I was informed by my dad that a SNESA report was to be written. I told my dad the "Eastern shoreline of Narragansett was a more than generous description of the spot" He didn't seem to think so

. The fish was a whole 47", so she's more than a pound per inch. I fished for a whopping total of 2 hours. If it was only like that all the time . . .

if it was like that all the time you would not bee feeling the sense of accomplishment you are probably feeling right now. We all have our own set of goals, and personally, if I could catch a fish like that all the time, i doubt i would have the same passion for striped bass fishing that i have now...

at anyrate, that is one dandy of fish you got there.

Great Job Brendon -

I've seen quite a few fatties so far. Even the ones I've cleaned that had nothing in them had some fat on them. There are more pogies around this year than in past years, too. Coincidence??---I think not

I've also seen, and heard of, several fish still carryiing their roe sacks.

I got a nice once this weekend that was 27#s and only 40 inches - almost shaped like an albie. Gut was empty.

I agree. It could well have come from further South, but I wouldn't doubt that was a Narragansett Bay fish finally coming out after feasting on adult pogies for a month or 2.

If that massacre taking place down in Jersey ever stops and those fish come North, we could definitely see some impressive fish taken this summer.

Hopefully this is just the first...
