Furthermore, the need to kill fish to "confirm" your achievement indicates that the achievement itself is insufficent, rather what you are fishing for is praise and recognition from others, not just fish or food. If you need that, and that's part of why you fish, well then so be it, though most good fisherman eventually grow out of that phase. Enough said.

No Not enough said, the guy was within his right to keep both fish under the law.....Do you walk around telling everyone to release there legal fish? I Have news for you, this guy has caught many fish over 50...he has nothing to prove. Anyway I am happy for him, and he can do what ever he wants with his two fish...May be he has a large family! |

Congrats  |
Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

I'm not questioning his right to keep 2 fish.
I don't tell anyone what to do about anything anymore, I've lived long enough to know it doesn't work and I'm often wrong.
How many fish someone has caught in the past is not "news" I care about.
If he has "nothing to prove", then why show them off at a tackle store?
For selfish reasons ONLY, I wish those two massive bass each had large families, instead of the fisherman.
Situations where big bass set up on bunker and get slaughtered by experienced fisherman have happened in the past and most involved seem to feel both fortunate and regretful in retrospect.
Until I see convincing evidence to the contrary, I see the slot limits and a 1 fish "trophy exemption" as the best way to manage a SPORT fishery.
I hope you get your #60. I hope even more you find what you are fishing for.
Good Luck. |

Why did he, 59.3 and 59.8, have to be fishing in the same tournies as me this weekend ( a purely rhetorical question? I know we are all fish junkies ) Evidently 53.8# doesn't go as far as it used to. Sidenote, a 50# fish or larger will not go back in the water when it hits my deck. I eat, sleep, breathe fish and work way too hard, plus I'm vain, to let it go.

I am quite satisfied with my lowley 53lber thank you....Should a 60 be in the cards ....so be it.
I dont blame him one bit for keeping those fish, a 60 is quite a fish...acually I was wrong, there were two guys on the boat so, each kept his own...that makes one fish for each guy...they each got a 60...congrats! They made one stop, at the tackle store and that was because they new the guys working there and wanted tro show them, neither of these fish is dectined for any tourneys at all...its a personal accomplishment. the other two fish shown above, those are destined for tourneys. |
