To everyone shedding tears about not letting it go to swim another day, thats about all this geriatric fish has left of its life! It lived a full life.. you want to cry tears, search the boards for guys that take 30" fish... they have a good 20 years to live yet.

As for the catch... congrats. If it were me, I already have such an airtight concrete game plan of what I will do I would be on a box of wheaties by noon

One of the SOL guys paid over $300 for Al McReynolds' greenie 710 that he caught the existing record on.

If this guy does decide to go after the record, that reel is just about the world's most expensive paperweight now.

Well considering those fish swim in schools and larger fish hang in pairs. I think every person that can fish, float, sink, or swim should hit the CT end of the sound. Already saw a hundred buggies leaving the cape.

Uh, yeah. The guy entered 3 fish over 60 pounds into the Striper Cup last year, and before this fish, he had a 58 and a 61 on the board for this year.

I think he just might be an avid fisherman.
