Why haven't you landed a #50 yet ??

• I'm not that good
• I've only been fishing for 5 years
• The 40's I've caught have all had empty stomachs
• Last year was the first year I seriously fished eels. Prior to that I only used them once or twice a year.
• I only fish the surf.
• I don't get to fish as often as I would like to.

There are many more reasons but that's all for now.

When the moment of glory arrives, I would do myself the justice of having the fish weighed on a certified scale. I’ve heard of many guys C and R so called "50's" and I think most, if not all of them are completely full of %$%$%$%$. Many are just looking to seal the deal by using the “formula” or hand scales to cement their rock star status. Show me the slips.

Oh yeah, catch them first and weigh them later is also a good creed to live by.

A. big lures will take 50s
B. the right gear to put the brakes on the fat girl.
C. Fish at night and know what the heck your doing.
D.Keep a log and fish hard.
E. luck has nothing to do with it. You are a surfcaster and its all skill.
