Don,
Pics were taken that day at the bait shop but I havent been there since so I dont know if they have been developed and posted yet?

I can also confirm that this fish was 61.20 lbs.

Weighed on certified digital scale that all the RISAA members weigh there fish with.

If you saw the belly on this fish you wouldnt even ? her weight.
Not to mention the size of her head!

From Ctfisherman, apologies if it is a repeat. Dave

I mated today for Captain Scott Anderson on the Kingfisher out of Noank. We had a group of guys from long Island who wanted to catch some light tackle stripers. We grabbed some Hickory shad for bait and ran over to the Watch Hill Reefs. We Three-wayed the shad with 3 oz. sinkers in about 30 feet of water. Every single fish they caught was HUGE. The biggest striper measured 54 inches and weighed in at 55lbs It was caught by a 12 year old kid Whats amazing is we also caught a 52inch 50.5lb fish earlier. We also had a 40lbder and a 42lbder. There were some fish also that looked to be over 30lbs that we didn't weigh. I have never seen a day like this. Capt. Scott really has some great spots and great techniques. What kind of irked me was I have been fishing for 20 years and this kid who had only been fishing once before landed that big fish Another thing thats really scary is we broke off two fish that were even bigger .... Maybe , Scott can post some pictures. I'm tired!
