Big Fish!!!

I just got off the phone with my brother and wanted to let you guys know that big fish are around! He was fishing in Rhode Island and caught his largest striper ever. It weighed over forty pounds and was only 44". It had a girth of 27"! The fish was caught on a Mega Bait plug. Guess I'm going to have get out there tomorrow and give it a shot. Good luck to everyone.

Hey John - The fish was caught from shore and was caught in the southern part of Rhode Island. Can't say specifically but I think a school of big fish are coming through. My brother had another one on just before he caught the 40#er and said felt really big also but that fish came unbuttoned. Can't wait to leave work early and hopefully get into some fish. Anything pulling at the other end is fine with me. Good luck to everyone.
