The meat will go in the dumpster and the fish will be made into a skin mount.. thats my guess.

Remember folks, bass were almost fished to extinction in the 80's and most everyone was fishing within the legal limits..

Nice catch

Having to decide wether to keep two sixties is a nice problem to have.
Congrats.
I hope I have that problem some day.
Like Spence, I'll never make a personel judgement on this. BTW, the small ones do taste better, I wish there was slot for 15" fish. Its perfectly legal. I'm sure he releases his share of fish.
Congrats again.

Whether they still breed at that size and are effective at it is a big question mark, but the fact remains, they're more worthwhile in the water than they are on the wall.

Congratulations to the angler!!! I'd keep both as well. That would give me an excuse to show up at people's houses with fish for them to eat while I tell them the story of TWO SIXTY POUND FISH IN ONE DAY!!

WOW!

I saw a guy catch one of those COWS at the service area of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge & Tunnel. I thought he was going to kill himself on the rocks trying to get it in. That was the first real big striper I had ever seen, I guess thats when saltwater fishing started to get in my blood. I was stationed a stones throw from the bridge back in the middle 60's.

I don't think most people (MOST) keep COWS to gain personal recognition. Maybe it is a sign of personal achievement to themself for alot of hard work and hard fishing. He was as #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& said within his legal right to keep those fish and I think its great for him! It is nobody elses business what he does with what is his! We are free in this country to have choices, and he chose to keep what he has earned just as many would choose to release them if they wish! I also believe they may not survive the fight so better they are kept than release to flounder and die! Worry more about those who not act within the boundary of the law than those who do! Big difference someone keeping 3 30 inch fish than 2 60 pound fish as far as I am concerned! I think fishing is no different than deer hunting....you make a decision on what you will take.....be it a doe or a 12 point buck! Are the deer hunters also looking for a trophy? I think so....if they are going to take one why not make it a memorable one at the same time?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

No names mentioned, but the 59+ fish(es) I'm talking about just bumped my fish in the Cape Calssic ( $ 2000 thank you ), the monthly On the Water, and both fish in the Fisherman. If in fact we are not talking the same guy from RI then we can add 2 more large taken yesterday to this thread. I know I'm fishing a lot this week comin'.

rather be fishin'

We dont seem to demand that people drive 50 mph when the law says its a 65 mph zone. If theres an issue with the current regulation than the regulation should be argued but criticizing someone for complying with that regulation doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

Cant wait for tommorow morning, !
wow that's great there are huge cows in your area, congrats to the guy.
When I saw this title of the thread my first thought was of Goose's 2 nice fish
I can't read 3 pages of this

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

It's a shame most big fish threads turn into this.

congrats to the angler. WHat an accomplishment.
I've been away from RI for a week and see what happens? I hope to get into some of those fish soon. I'd be happy with a 30.
