Any guesses on the actual size of the cow that swims by in the clip titled 'big striper'?

Not sure, 30#-40#???

Kinda dispells the myth about big gurls not swimming with
smaller keepers, eh? Who Knew?

Awesome Footage!

I have to agree with BassDawg, with all those other fish being "small keepers"....that COW had to go 40#s easy.

COW-A-BUNGA DUDE!!! Road-Trip to the Thames anyone?......."We're going to need a bigger boat"..........

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

i would think most of those thames clips were shot in "the basin" that is right in the middle of the harbor. the best fishing is definitely by boat but there are large fish taken by shore bound anglers every year out of that river.
most of the fish you're seeing are not small keepers, more like say
15" -24" but there were pictures and reports of a 50# taken in dec.
there are many many fish that winter over there and right now there is a decent night time bite but middle of may to middle of june some truly large fish make their way up river and that is when fishing the thames is at it's best.
i know this has been said before but it's worth repeating- if you're going be prepared you're going to have lots of company and more importantly make sure you have a ct fishing license, the ct d.e.p. likes to hang around and check for that sort of thing.
oh, and lock your vehicle things have a way of disappearing around norwich.
