Pt. Allerton 1950's lb. an inch fish!

[slow eddie]

it use to be the rule . back then we actually had baitfish around.
kind of hard to believe it wasn't that long ago.

I'm not sure on the weights of the fish; I do know that they were taken in the mid 1950's from the surf at Point Allerton in Hull MA. That's my dad holding the fish and me and my sister posing with the old man. My dad was as hardcore as it gets...started fishing from the surf in the early 50's....and kept on fishing hard right through his last season in 2010. He passed away @ 88 on 1/13...luckily he sent over 60 yrs. worth of bass on ahead of him to keep him busy......wherever he is.

Notice my sister's finger under my nose....nothing like the smell of dead fish!

John,
I'm really saddened reading this post and that your dad had passed.
I'm sure he is slaying the fish where ever he is now.
RIP Art

Thanks Ron. It won't be quite the same on the "Sokinwet" next season without the old man holding up his end of the boat. I can tell you for sure that the time you're spending fishing with your boys today will be greatly appreciated by them and will bring a smile to their faces in some reflective moment down the road.

John,

Sorry that your dad passed on. I'm sure where ever he is, he is trolling his silver bullet dead pogies.
