Default Re: Who has ever landed a 50 Pound Striper in Raritan Bay?

best fish I had in the bay was low forties.

Have had 2 legit over 50 oceanside a 52 and a 54, and a 54 in VA

Have had three guys on my boat catch fish over 50

few high forties to go along with those

ALL weighed on 2 different digital scales.


I do think many bigger fish are lost due to guys not having equipment big enough to handle larger fish.
But equipment size is a tough call because you dont want to be fishing a broom stick when catching all the 25-35 pounders, as it takes the fun out of it.


as far as Over estimating fish , I think that happens more often than not. cant understand why many guys dont carry a scale so they know what they actually caught.
