My old fishing partner Ron Olson got a 46 & 48 (pound) on consecutive casts in Narragansett one November evening - I'd say in 91 or 92. At a place frequented by several member of this board.
They were on big menhaden but they took an eel.
i allways liked those old days pictures you see,
you know the one where two sports are walking up the beach with tail draggers hanging from a long stick. i allways have wanted to be in a photo like that
