that looks like a blast
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Very nice. I went for the first time ever this last weekend. I don't know why but the one I caught looks smaller then yours. I didn't put mine on a scale but the guy who caught one a little smaller then mine weighted his after he got home at 43.5 lbs. That's after he gutted it. So I'm just guessing mine was around 50lbs.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

Cool fish. I've heard you catch them out of PA in 500+ feet? My grandpa always used to tell me the buoy right off ediz hook was a good spot too.
