What's Large????

[numbskull]

It depends on the method used. Subtract 10 lbs if you used bait and another 10 if you used a boat and it works out about right.

A 30 pound strip4er is a good fish no matter what method one uses, ie surf, boat, bait, artificial etc..

Otherwise, a canal fish has to 30+ lbs to be a good fish. I can catch 20 lb fish in there all day. Boat fishing, IMO, doesn't make it easier to catch big fish, maybe just increases your chances of finding more fish. (ex. blitzes of smaller fish)

I'm always happy just to be fishing. This includes surf, canal, or from my little tin boat. I get especially tickled with any fish over 35 lbs.
Hard to tell if George is serious with a comment like that one, usually he comes across as sensible.

A large bass from the surf, is anything over 25#'s. IMO.

What happens in Pasque, stays in Pasque.
It's almost like a vacation in Thailand I'm told.
Good Luck, and wear a raincoat.

i think over 12# is decent, a fish over 20# is a nice fish, over 25# is VERY NICE, and over 30# is large.

it kind of depends on how the fishing is, though. If in a drought then a 20 becomes large.

Oh man John, relax will ya? it was for a minute? there are more important things in the world. Ok I am out...

[Squibby17]

I don't care what anyone says if you pull a 20# in off the beach that is a damn good fish. I would give the term "LARGE" to anything over 25#'s

This is all shore though cause boat fish don't count
