Big fish either swim with the same or similar size or alone. They don't swim with schoolies because they are not as fast and would starve competing for a meal.

I was told that Mike Laptew once said he was free diving off the West Wall and had a school of Bass all over 100 pounds in front of him and then they swam away together.

Caught on a porgy, to be exact.

Doesn't sound right to me either--I know of 5-6 fish 70+ from Mass. alone

Church, Cinto and Stetzko at 73.

Kirker at 72

Two from the old Chatham inlet at 70.

Steve Petri had a 69 from Nauset that's the 16# line class record.

Tim Coleman has a couple of high 60s from the Block.

Steve Campo might also have a high 60 from the Block.

The one from CT at 75.

Bob Rochetta's 76.

McReynold's 78-1/2.

Some high 60s from Va/NC in recent years.

Who knows how many ever got caught and not reported.
