Throw the book out!!!!

all i have to say is this... last year my biggest was 24lb ... all season...

this year... I landed a 35lb and Sh*t my pants that I landed it in the surf... since that i have logged 13fish over 21lbs and each of them TO ME are big fish so that being said >>>>> I am fortunate that my season is my best (of only 3 years) and I would never tell someone a 25lber is only a decent fish...

with as many people on this board and only the few here and there posts of 25+ fish ... that in itself should say something.


Can't we all just get along... and be proud of another person catching a fish??? its really annoying that everything has to be a pissing battle on here... sometimes I feel we all are worse than women when it comes to bitching ...

have I seen on a sunny day in places with a lot of human activity in boats or splashing around in the water very big fish cruising through it all or smacking small baitfish right against a very shallow shore.

The more you learn expands the real book. The book in general is a nice guideline but is far away from the actual reality of what Striped Bass do and when they do it.
