Unfortunately I've been seeing the fashion models , 45 inches and 26 pounds. It weird how big a difference can be found even in one night amongst the fish you catch. Variety is the spice of life!

Hmm... I've been seeing pretty consistent size/length ratios. The fish I caught that were 30lbs at 36" were on the boat of P-Town. The other night I picked up a 32" fish that went about 20lbs in the canal and a couple schoolies that were seriously fat as well. |

Tis is not a dig at all, but me thinks either your scale or ruler is off...
I have never seen a length/weight chart that had a max weight of 30lb for a fish shy of 40"...
maybe not, if you got the slips then DAMN those are fat fish... |

Yea, 30# at 36" would be a really wild looking fish. You have pics? |

all the fish being caught are fat and keeper size.i catch and release everything and don't mine fishermen keeping there catch to eat.but reading all the post including recent cape cod posts makes me wonder where are all the smaller fish.are we going to go into a striper crash with all the big fish being taken,remains to be seen.

Johnny, the fish on the right in this pic is exactly 36" and went just under 20lbs. You can see it's definitely not a racer by any stretch. I'm not doubting you, but I'd love to see a picture of a 36" fish that went 30lbs. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
