58lbs 13 oz from shore and 73 from a boat in the last 2 years isn't so bad

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

On a slightly different note, about ten years ago the story was in the Cape Cod Times about a tourist, in August, who buys a bag of sandeels, gets directions to the nearest outer Cape swimming beach and gets his wife to drop him off. Well, he hooks, and lands a 60 pound bass. Calls his wife to pick him up and weighs in at the same bait shop. Did I forget to mention it was a midday fish?

Aye Carrumba!

Three of those guys look like they are really pi##ed off that it wasn't their fish. Or maybe they are wanted in three states and aren't thrilled about getting their picture taken. Even the happy guy is a little bit cooler than he ought to be. Meanwhile.... wow. LAAHGE!!

My favorite comment so far was the guy on SOL who said something like, "It doesn't look 73# to me--I'd say high 50s or 60".

Like he's seen a lot of high 50s and 60s to be able to tell

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
