One thing I have noticed is the larger bass that are over 34" or so seem to weigh less than the ones we caught twenty years ago. I see lots of fish in the 40" range that only go 23 lbs. give or take a few lbs. The canal in the last few years gives up tons of fish but not many over thirty. When I started fishing there 25 years ago there were lots of bigger fish but not many Schoolies. The bait then was whiting, herring,sqiud and eels all good sized meals. Now its mostly herring then peanut bunker with the numbers of bass higher. JMHO

I tend to agree with canalratt1. Last August I was with my dad and he caught a 42" 23lb striper. pretty thin, 1/2" shorter then Saltheart's and 3 lbs. less.
Got Stripers, lobsters in their bellies? what did you expect look where you fish, I'm surprised you are able to navigate with all those pots out there in those rock infested waters.
