again, that is a FAT fish, nice football shape too it. are the days of the "racers" gone?
I agree, it must have been that 1998 was a good YOY class. I hope they come in those numbers up here! I'll catch 15-18 pounders all day and be happy as a clam

the racers arn't gone, they'll just get skinny when all the big bait (squid,pogy,mackerel) leaves. |

i think it's just you guys... all MY data show that ALL the fish are invisible, and weigh exactly 0.0lbs each.  |

I've interviewed a couple of DEM chiefs about this last year -- in RI and Mass. -- and it's because of the moratorium of the 1980s.
What we're seeing now are the benefits of the moratorium -- large year-class fish coming from the mid-to-late nineties and early 2000s.
I was told by these guys that the period around the turn of the century had some of the biggest numbers of young bass. Hence, an buttload of good-sized fish.

Never mind the buttload, I just need a couple to make me happy. |
The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
