Thanx Mike P for mentioning Frank Machado.
His fish weighed 68 lbs on the old fasioned Gibbs
Proppa popper . That fish won the Governors cup
for the largest S B that yr. in Mass.
His ethnic background is a clue as to where it was caught.
From what i was told.
Also a 53lb Bass was caught trolling a lg swimming plug
on wire around the Elizabeth islands last week.
Large fish will turn up . One day here, next somewhere else.

i lost a *nice* one this morning.. but otherwise it was a whole lot of nothing for everyone in my area last night/this morning.

save a few dinks here or there.

About two years ago there was a reprint of the original newspaper story about Machado's fish (? Cape Cod Times, ? Enterprise, Fisherman magazine?). Does anybody recall where this was published? If I remember correctly it was taken at night (although there was apparently enough light to see a break) and I think he was throwing into a very stiff NW wind.
