Steve, My friends from PA and NJ used to come up to NG in the summer months.
A working vacation.They could not go and fish for fun "large" till they made there money with the "select" fish..One of the guys would handle all the expenses.Shortly after they returned he had a check and would split up the money after he paid for the trip..I have heard the stories many times from one of my friends.He would name of all the common spots fishing with old atom jrs.Filling up.Then getting bait and livelining..They said the locals would ask why they where keeping em alive.My good friend Pa Rick took one 49-15 on the fish mongers scale on a live bunker.He never took the fish to another scale.This was maybe 30 years ago..It didn't mean anything to them back then.Not sure I could take it anywheres else after that either..I just mentioned it cause it is a crappy place for the pin to stop..
I love to bust his chops about it know.The fish mongers scale was always right..Right?
