[HarborNights]

I saw that bad boy when we came in got some pictures of it! Nice fish and congrats again. What a story behind it something for the record books some were! I would write fenwick about their rods. Maybe they will send you a better one.

[DEGEND1]

Vinny,

I just wanted to say congratulations again on catching that monster bass on the May 20th charter.

I got a "reel" thrill seeing and hearing the rod snap at the hook set and then watching you reel in that beast with what was left of the rod.

I hope you are satisfied with the pictures. The pictures are only a glimpse of the majesty of that fish and it was truly remarkable to see it in person. Thanks for sharing your fish of a lifetime with us.

Best regards,
Doug

Awsome fish! Thats the fish of several lifetimes. I'm beginning to think I'll never beat my personal best. Its already been 21 years!

[mako6950]

If Capt Hook didn't nail it with the stainless steel 'net', it may have popped 60.

For your first post you would think that you wouldn't be so critical!
Well, let me tell you I was there! I also had a charter that night and Vinny & Capt Kobey followed me in to the dock. We all weighed that fish and it was every bit of 55+!!! It pulled down 3 of the scales we had to 55 lbs plus!

We did the 53.5" lenght and the 29.5" girth and did it on the chart and guess what ?
It came to 58.1 #

Hell Calvin i guess i better cancel my mount from coastal that i ordered today ;) tongue.gif

"Its a well known fact that the striped bass stated in this thread is no where near 58 lbs.
The stomach in fact is naturally filled with helium, making it lighter than normal."

"SHUT UP , CLAVIN!" :D

:D :D :D I wouldnt doubt That ! tongue.gif

But i'll take the 58 # at least Then i can still Look forward to the 60+ lb'er smile.gif

[SeaMonkey]

The weight of a fish is hard to estimate unless you have already caught and weighted alot of 'em to "calibrate" your eye.

Obviously ol Calvin has not had this experience.


Saweeeet Fish!!! Congradulations!!

[Grasshopper]

Awsome fish congrats I am still looking for one over 50lbs. My largest to date is 42lbs. I will keep trying, Hope to catch one the size of the fisherman in the pic!

[Skmag357]

We will see how the PP works. I think we are might try to tie with the uni knot and see what happens. First breakoff all the line is coming off and we will fish the boat rods. Let us know when the mount is done and we will be over!!!
